From Barruera (1.090m), take the esplanade on the right bank of the river and follow the paved road until after you cross the L-500 road. After crossing it, take the trail that goes along the hillside at even level and ends up directly underneath the Church of Santa Maria de Cardet (1.180m). If you continue your way skirting the village by the S, you will descend through the forest until you meet the L-500 road again, as far as the reservoir of Cardet (1.080m). From there, you can either go back to Barruera or go on up to Pont de Saraís.
