We will go from Les Preses to Hostalnou de Bianya via the Carrilet Greenway. At the iron bridge of Olot we will continue to the left, along Barcelona Promenade, shaded by plane trees.
We will cross Clarà Square towards the Sant Joan de les Abadesses road, which we will follow to the Hostal del Sol neighbourhood.
From there we will climb up to Sant Miquel del Mont, a splendid viewpoint, and from there we only have to descend to Hostalnou de Bianya.
Attention MTB rider
Urban MTB variant: leaving Les Fonts de Sant Roc we turn left over Sant Roc Bridge. We follow the bike lane until reaching Sant Joan les Abadesses Avenue where we join the Volta a peu.
Once we reach the Hostal del Sol neighbourhood we continue pedalling along the N-260 for 1.5 km, until we find the turnoff to the Castell del Coll Path. We always follow the main track and soon reconnect with the Volta a peu route.
After Sant Andreu del Coll the path climbs up a technical trail which we do not follow.
We continue along the same path, which soon becomes a single track. We reach Collada de Bastons where we follow the track up to Sant Miquel del Mont.
The descent from Sant Miquel is made along the same track used for the ascent until Cal Menut. Here we have two options: descend along the same track we used for the climb, or follow the Volta a peu trail. We choose the trail.
The descent towards Bianya is rideable but technical. We follow the same path as the Volta a peu until we find wooden signs giving us two options: TOWN or EL GUITART. We choose the latter as it is much more rideable. Following the wooden signs and white marks on the trees we reach El Guitart, a few metres from Santa Margarida de Bianya church.
