From Ultia de Borz we walked up to Munt de Fornela, before making an anti clockwise circuit of the mountain. The first section is the steepest and the children had to pay attention on the narrow path crossing several scree slopes, however this was soon safely negotiated.
From the Forcela de Putia I took a side trip to climb to near the summit of the mountain itself. This was about an extra hour, walking at a good pace. I had planned not to go to the true summit on account of its difficulty, but on refection and after seeing it I think it would have made a straightforward scramble, with chains helping to protect the narrowest sections.
Back on the main route, the easy path swung around through alpine meadows before eventually crossing the east side of the mountain. The return trip was more enclosed, passing through sections of pine and rocky grottos.
