Lots of activities for everyone

Let your imagination run wild and take a piece of Núria home with you

For two days, technical training sessions were held at the Espai Provença of Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) in Barcelona, ​​with the aim of improving active and passive safety on training slopes. These face-to-face sessions were the first phase of a training plan that had more than 60 registered participants and that will have two more actions: an online training and, to conclude, an additional practice in the snow at one of the FGC ski resorts.

One of the most anticipated international events on the trail running calendar will bring together the best runners in the world in the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park on October 3, 4 and 5. La Molina will once again be the venue for one of the races that are part of the Salomon Ultra Pirineu, the Nit Pirineu KV®, which will take place tomorrow, Friday.

Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya, the Real Federación Española Deportes de Invierno and the Federació Catalana d’Esports d’Hivern are promoting a training day with the aim of improving active and passive safety on training slopes. This plan will consist of three distinct phases, which will include a face-to-face day in Barcelona, ​​an online training day and, to conclude, a technical practice on snow at one of FGC's ski and mountain resorts.

Under the leadership of the Loser Surfers organization, the initiative has the support of the Alt Pirineu Natural Park, the Aigüestortes and Estany de Sant Maurici National Park, and the collaboration of the Espot Esquí and Port Ainé ski and mountain resorts. The FGC TURISME resorts in the Pallars Sobirà region reaffirm their environmental commitment, focusing waste collection in parking lots and accesses to maximize the visual and ecological impact.

Serra, who has been manager of the Ripoll resort for 18 years, is fully integrated into the Business and Strategy department of FGC Turisme to promote the transversal work of this department across all Ferrocarrils tourist operations. Torres, who has been linked to Vallter for more than 15 years, will be the first woman to manage a ski resort in the Spanish Pyrenees.

The competition, an international benchmark, maintains its demanding classic route and includes the Vertical Olla de Núria as a prelude to the sports weekend. The Olla de Núria, organized by the Unió Excursionista de Vic, has more than 900 participants this year for the entire weekend. This new edition underlines FGC's commitment to sport and the promotion of the Catalan Pyrenees by positioning it as an international benchmark, both in the winter and summer seasons.

The emblematic skyrunning event, organized by the MadTeam Hiking Club, features four renovated circuits for all categories, with departure and arrival at the Ripolla mountain station, managed by Ferrocarrils. This benchmark race in the Pyrenees offers a high mountain challenge without asphalt, with unevenness and height, culminating at the summit of Bastiments and promising strong emotions.

The power has been increased to 840 kWt, which will allow for a saving of 200,000 liters of diesel per year and stop emitting 550 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year. Ferrocarrils is also completing the work to improve the energy efficiency of the buildings, which will mean a saving of 78% of the energy for heating. Vall de Núria celebrates the festival of Sant Gil, patron saint of shepherds, with religious, recreational and gastronomic activities.

La Molina (Girona, Spain) ends its three days of European Championships crowning the new European MTB downhill champions, an event with a great atmosphere and a crowd of up to 12,000 people. 

The event has gathered 420 riders from 28 countries on the Comella DH track in which the best Spaniards have been Cristina Menéndez (8th) and Daniel Castellanos (10th)

Saturday was marked by official training sessions and the qualifying round on the Comella DH track, which determined the starting order for Sunday's grand final. The favourites came out on top in the Elite category: Austria's Andreas Kolb and Switzerland's Lisa Baumann. Spain's Castellanos achieved a very promising result ahead of Sunday's final, finishing in 2nd place, just 4 hundredths of a second behind Kolb.

There was a great atmosphere in the finish area with food trucks, a pump track, a village and an afternoon of activities open to the public with live music and a tribute to the most veteran Catalan riders.
