A great crossing suitable only for the most prepared athletes that will take us to the wildest landscapes of the Vall Fosca. We will taste the great landscape contrasts between the Filià valley and the headwaters of the Flamisell.

DESCRIPTION
Most of the route consists of joining different itineraries proposed in the project. Only the stretch between Francí lake and Salado lake is specific to this route.
We begin with the ascent to the Tossal de Paiasso (route 3.4) and descent through the Cabessades pass towards the Obaga de Rus (route 4.3).
Again, we go back to Estan Francí (itin 4.2) and from here we continue towards the NE in the direction of Estan Redó. Without much technical difficulty, the ridge to the north is one of the key steps of the traverse. Once at the top of the Salado lake (a few hundred meters below us) we go up the valley in the direction of Cap de Reguera (route 1.5). The descent softens quickly and descends with little slope in a north-easterly direction towards the Nariolo pass. After passing this last step, the descent is clear in a southeast direction towards the Tort pond and the Colomina refuge.
SAFETY AND PRACTICAL ADVICE
Colls and summit ascents enter Complex terrain and often offer no options to continue the crossing. This forces us to choose a situation with very good snow stability if we want to ensure the success of the proposal. The large number of directions and the long journey ahead require extra effort in preparing the outing and calculating the time of passage at each of the critical points of the crossing. The most exposed points are the access to Tossal de Paiasso from the south, the descent from the collada de les Cabessades, the north ridge of estany Redó, the access to Cap de Reguera, and the Nariolo pass. We can avoid Cap de Reguera by bypassing Salado’s ridges and accessing Estanyets Amagats from the south.
