If you're looking to enjoy the mountains and some delicious cuisine, come spend your holidays in Setcases, a small hidden gem at 1278 metres above sea level.

There are plenty of cheap trips to Setcases to discover everything this small town has to offer at the foot of the Capçaleres del Ter Nature Park. Setcases is a picturesque village, with stone houses and slate roofs, with narrow streets that have preserved their traditional charm over the centuries, despite having become one of the most popular tourist spots in the Camprodon valley. Many lovers of winter sports come here thanks to its location near the ski slopes of Vallter2000, which is inside the municipality.

Book our package deals to Setcases and prepare to enjoy the multitude of activities to be found here: high-mountain hiking trails, biking, off-road itineraries and, of course, skiing. You can also combine it with cultural activities set aside some time to visit the church of Sant Miquel de Setcases. It dates back to the late 17th century and is home to a spectacular Baroque altarpiece.

You can also enjoy the most beautiful views of the natural surroundings around Setcases, with three easily accessible viewpoints. On the way to the slopes of Vallter 2000, you’ll find the Forat de l'Olla, a great spot to admire the Ter valley. Just under 4 miles from the town is the Baidana viewpoint, which rewards visitors with gorgeous views of the town's stunning landscape and the surrounding peaks.

On your trip to Setcases, you can take advantage of several public transport options. The easiest way is to travel by train to Ripoll and then board an intercity bus to Camprodon and Setcases. However, if you want to explore this corner of the Catalan Pyrenees at your own pace, you’ll definitely want to have a private vehicle. This will be the best way to save your strength for the many hiking trails that await you behind the picturesque houses of this little town in Girona.

Good location very close to the pistes. Could do with a bit of a refresh, but for the price can't complain. Staff somewhat brusque at times, but nothing too much to put you off. Nice and quiet at night and comfy beds. Slept well.

Honestly, one of the worst places I have stayed in a while. Check-in was good and staff were helpful. However, from there it deteriorated quickly. The room was dated and very basic.
