Travel options

Car, plane or train

By car

From the Netherlands or Belgium it's roughly 1,400 km, a long day's drive through France (A7/AP-7). Near Girona take the exit towards the C-63 (Amer, Les Planes d'Hostoles) or enter the valley via Olot. Parking on site is no problem.

Want to break the journey? La Vila's 1-night experience was made exactly for that, on the way back too.

Flying

Girona (GRO) · ± 45 min drive. The nearest airport, but note: the flight schedule is seasonal. In winter there are usually few or no direct flights from northern Europe, so always check the current schedule.

Barcelona El Prat (BCN) · ± 1 h 45 drive. Many flights year-round from most European cities. Outside summer this is almost always your best option.

Rent a car at the airport: public transport into the valley exists, but a car gives you freedom.

Train & bus

Travelling overland works well: take the high-speed train via Paris to Barcelona or Girona. From Girona, regional operator TEISA runs the Girona-Olot bus line through the valley, with a stop in Les Planes d'Hostoles.

Yes, La Vila is perfectly reachable with a regular car. The last stretch is a country lane, so take it easy and enjoy the view.

Can I manage without a car once I'm there?

For the trails, the gorgs and the Via Verde you don't need a car: they start at your tent. For day trips to Besalú, Rupit or the coast a car is the comfortable option.
