Xixerella: Hiking and Pitch & Putt

For planning a trip to Xixerella, the Tomb per Xixerella hiking route and Pitch & Putt El Torrent course provide two specific points of reference. The hiking information ranges from the distance to the stated duration. The focus on other topics is explicitly on the wider destination of La Massana.

Hiking and Pitch & Putt in Xixerella

The Tomb per Xixerella hiking route starts in the village of Xixerella. It is 9.97 km long, with 410 metres of elevation gain and 410 metres of elevation loss. The route information gives a duration of 2 hr 15 min. This means the distance, elevation gain and loss, and estimated time can all be used together for planning. The same elevation figure for the ascent and descent describes both directions of the route, while the total length gives the distance of the entire route.

If you would like to plan your time around a specific hike, the stated duration provides a clear reference point. Together with the distance and elevation figures, it tells you more than the number of kilometres alone: it shows the estimated time for the route and the elevation gain and loss indicated.

Pitch & Putt El Torrent is a pitch-and-putt course in Xixerella. The local overview therefore brings together different kinds of activities: a hiking route with information on distance, elevation gain and loss, and duration, as well as pitch & putt as a separate activity. To help you choose, you can first consider whether you would like to focus on hiking or pitch & putt.

Another route reference is the Port of Cabús section, which runs from Xixerella in the direction of Pal. If you plan to use this section, check the current local conditions beforehand.
