It's better to do the route by ebike. There's a lot of elevation gain.

Located at an altitude of 1,490 meters in the Alto Aran, this is the highest inhabited village in the valley. It is a charming village, and its historic center is included in the Inventory of Architectural Heritage of Catalonia. Furthermore, since 2019, it has been a member of the Association of the Most Beautiful Villages of Spain. To explore Bagergue, it is recommended to stroll through its streets and soak up the beauty of its hidden corners, with their stone houses, typical of Aranese architecture. Highlights include the Church of Sant Fèlix, built between the 12th and 13th centuries; the Eth Corrau Museum, which houses more than 2,500 pieces depicting everyday life and the most rustic Aranese crafts; and the Casa Menginat.

"The Vall de Boi is a narrow valley, carved deep into the Catalan Pyrenees. More than 1,000 years ago, seven small villages emerged in the valley, which no one would remember if nine Romanesque churches hadn't been built at that time. The isolation has contributed to the fact that at least some of these churches have been preserved almost in their original state," says the website for the television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity." Comprising several hundred episodes, the series (in German) presents special places from all continents and eras that – despite all their diversity – have one thing in common: They have been awarded the honorary title of World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The film about the VALL DE BOI with its Romanesque churches is available in the ARD media library under the following link => https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/vall-de-boi-spanien-folge-260/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82ODk4NDYw
