Circuit of Barranc del Cau and Alt del Ample from Jalon
The walk will take you up the path to the east of Barranc del Cau following the water pipe, circling around Les Planisses and returning via Alt de Ample. Generally the paths and tracks are good but there will be a short stretch over rough ground; the views are worth the effort!

Meant to vote 5 star but I must have sent it by mistake. Super walk and trip up to Alt de Ample brilliant. Thank you CBMW
Really good walk – quite tough in places going up the Barranco but a very clear path & great views the whole way.
Done in late June 2022 so hot by the end – I’d suggest starting around 7am to beat the heat on the very open 2nd half.
