The starting point is at the Montfalco Refuge. This can be reached directly by road. To get there, follow the N230 which connects Lleida to Vieilha.
If you are coming from Vieilha, shortly after passing through the village of Puente de Montanana, you will see a sign on the left indicating Viacamp. Once you have turned, follow the signs for "Albergue de Montfalco". Please note that the road is in very poor condition for 14 km, so allow 30 minutes to reach the refuge. It is also advisable to use a vehicle with high ground clearance, although a standard vehicle will manage if you drive slowly. Follow the road (you can't miss it) to the Montfalco Refuge.
(S/E) The starting point is opposite the refuge, where you will find a sign with information about the footbridges and the Congost. Continue downhill into the forest. After walking for 500 metres, you will reach a fork in the road.
(1) Continue straight ahead and shortly afterwards you will pass a sign.
(2) There is no doubt about it, continue straight ahead. Once you have passed the sign, the trail becomes obvious, impossible to miss.
(3) You will then see the first series of Montfalco footbridges.
These are quite impressive, and I would advise anyone prone to vertigo to avoid them, even though these passages are very well protected.
You will then begin the climb up the footbridges before continuing along the cliffside, adrenaline guaranteed! Once you have completed the first series of footbridges, you will begin to descend again for a while before seeing more footbridges.
(4) At this second passage, climb the footbridges. Once at the top, descend until you reach the bridge.
(5) Cross the bridge. Be careful, as the bridge can sway a little in strong winds or when there are a lot of people on it. Shortly after the bridge, continue straight ahead at the fork and follow the signs for "Congost de Mont Rebei". In any case, just follow the river! The gorge narrows and, after several ascents and descents, the path is carved into the mountain.
(6) There is a handrail on your right. The return route is the same as the outward route, so you are likely to encounter other people. Think safety first, as a fall here would be disastrous. Follow the path carved into the mountain for about 800 metres. At the end of the path, the gorge opens up. Continue until you come to a second bridge.
(7) Cross this bridge, which is larger than the first one. At the signs, follow Masieta to the right. After a kilometre and a half, you will see Masieta (a hut with a shop, toilets, etc.).
(8) From the hut, return via the same route until you reach the Montfalco Refuge (S/E).
