The Xenacs Area: the Natural Viewpoint of la Garrotxa

From an elevation of nearly 1000 meters, the Xenacs Area stands out as one of the best trips in la Garrotxa, offering an unique combination of stunning natural landscapes and recreational facilities. This space, easily accessible from les Preses, is an ideal starting point for hiking routes in Xenacs and for exploring the surrounding area, rich in biodiversity.

The place, located within the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park and thus a sanctuary for protected species within a privileged landscape, invites visitors to enjoy tranquility and fresh air. The well-marked paths encourage hiking and represent a perfect escape from daily routine. To recharge energies, there is the possibility to even have a picnic in the designated area.

It’s worth covering the 5-kilometer path: at the top, one of the main attractions of the Xenacs Area awaits—the viewpoint from where you can enjoy splendid views of Vall d’en Bas. And if you’re still up for a bit more walking (about 50 minutes round trip), continue along the marked trail to the Puig Rodó viewpoint and watch the majestic central area of the Natural Park unfold before your eyes.

For nature lovers, discovering the Xenacs Area is an essential opportunity to enjoy some of the best views in Garrotxa.
