From Coll de Torn, a long and pleasant descent begins, gradually entering the valley. The track is wide and comfortable, although rocky in some sections, and finally turns into asphalt. As we lose altitude, the vegetation becomes denser, with mixed forests of red pine, beech and oak. Near Guardiola de Berguedà, the route links up with a section of the Via del Nicolau, an old railway line that has been converted into a cycle path. This section is a real pleasure to cycle: tunnels, wooden footbridges and views of the Bastareny river accompany the entrance to the valley floor. The last section follows the historic royal road that links Guardiola de Berguedà with Bagà, until it reaches the porticoed square of the medieval town, the end of the stage.
