Audio Guide of TricuTricu

The Garrotxa Tourist Train (Tricutricu) generally operates from Thursday to Sunday, with departures at 11:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. during specific seasons, plus special services at other times. The main departure point is Parc Nou in Olot. I recommend checking the latest schedules and pick-up points on the official Olot City Council website or calling +34 972 27 01 02 to confirm.

The adult fare is usually €7.50, with reduced rates for children and groups. You can buy tickets directly at the departure point in Parc Nou, Olot, before the ride, although it is advisable to contact the tourist information office if you are a large group or want to confirm availability. For more details, you can check the fares section on the official page.

The Tricutricu route lasts approximately one hour. This is the perfect amount of time to immerse yourself in Olot’s volcanic and urban landscapes without it feeling too long, while still leaving you time to explore other attractions in the area.

In addition to being a tourist service, Tricutricu connects the urban center of Olot with some of the most iconic natural sites in the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park, such as Parc Nou and La Fageda d'en Jordà. It offers a unique and comfortable perspective on the region’s rich geology and biodiversity, which is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) are the best times. In spring, nature is in bloom, and in autumn, the ochre colors of La Fageda d'en Jordà are spectacular. I recommend avoiding the hottest summer months and the crowds if possible, although Olot is always charming.

Yes, Tricutricu is adapted for people with reduced mobility. To ensure a comfortable experience, I suggest contacting the tourist information office in advance at +34 972 27 01 02 or sending an email to [email protected], so they can confirm the facilities available on the day of your visit.

Near the Tricutricu route, do not miss the stunning La Fageda d'en Jordà, a beech forest growing on a lava flow, or the volcanoes of Santa Margarida and Croscat. In addition, Olot’s historic center offers gems such as the Volcano Museum and the Garrotxa Museum. Check Garrotxa Tourism for more ideas.
