This route begins at the tourist information office at the "Font del Moli”. Go100 m. up a small hill where you will find a paved path and a chain, follow the wide dirt road and go for 200 m then pass a small bridge, then (60 m) turn right and follow a wide path. 250 meters after this corner we turn back to the right on a sharp bend to follow a mixed section of earth / asphalt and houses for 300 m. Here we must be careful because we must turn to enter a small road to commence the mountainous route. This point is distinguished for being as stated 300 m from the last diversion on the left a small step and stone wall. Position ourselves at this point, noting that it is on the tarmac just before beginning a descent that leads to crossroads, so that we must be careful and do not go down asphalt.
After the previous diversion will be facing the right direction of the "Volta Puig", initiating a short but tough climb through a narrow road for 1 km. Here we are at the 1.7 km (PK from now), at the end of the narrow path there’s a field, a few meters of it we will see both on the right path as a straight wide road leading to the same point 300 m later. At this time, in the PK 2 you will see another small road that passes through a ruined house (PK 2'3). At about the PK 3 begins the hardest part of the whole tour, which will last for another kilometre. Subsequently, we follow the same path to the "Font of Solsida" (PK 5.8), liquid refreshment point (depending on the source flow) and maximum height of the "Puig Volta" with 937 m of altitude. Then PK 6'2 and see the intersection leading to the left to "Botanical Sender" of the Puig Campana and the climb to the summit. Here we will turn to the right until you reach the level of "Coll of Pouet" (PK 6.4). There is several roads right down to the forest track La Nucia. We arrive at Mount Ponoig straight, and left at a small path through the "Pas de la Rabossa" continues in the direction of Sella. What we do at this point is we take a wide path situated on the left, this passes to continue through until the PK 7'1. The refuge hut is located here. Continue on the path on the left side which brings us to the PK 10, there are small crossroads here and both directions lead to the starting point. The least recommended is the one on the right, where we descend a steep slope that leads to an asphalt road. Then we will continue to the left direction, thus following up to the starting point. We recommend you take the path on the left at the intersection of PK 10, which takes you down a path to a tarmac road (PK 10'7). At this point you just have to follow the asphalt road on the left to the point of departure of the Font del Moli.
