Itinerary description
Although there is an easier way to visit the Large Rock Arch this circular walk includes the Little Rock Arch and a traverse along the northern slopes of Aixorta. Both arches are geological curiosities and probably formed by a harder part of the roof of a cave the remainder of which has fallen in. The Little Arch is reached by ascending the Barranc de Sacanyar to arrive above the Arch. Good boots are necessary to make the short scramble down to the visit the Arch. The descent to the Large Arch is also steep and requires care. Apart from the two scrambles down to visit the Arches the rest of the walk is all on good paths and tracks.
