This is an activity with very limited spots, offering you the chance to immerse yourself in an ancient tradition, walking historic trails through the most authentic landscapes of La Cerdanya.
Do you know why this journey is still made on foot today? Discover the answer as you walk alongside the herd—an experience to reconnect with nature, the land, and a way of life that still quietly endures.
