Dali's hut

The Niu de l'Àliga Refuge is located at an altitude of 2,500 meters at the top of Tosa d'Alp, in the municipality of Bagà. This refuge is an iconic building at the highest point of the La Molina ski resort and offers spectacular views of the Cerdanya valley, Ripollès, and Berguedà. It is a privileged spot to enjoy sunsets and moonlit nights. The refuge has capacity for 27 people and offers services such as a cable car, blankets, showers, mobile charging, Wi-Fi, a bar, and a restaurant.

The Green MEPs Jordi Solé and François Alfonsi, and the Social Democrat Éric Andrieu, launched a letter to Pedro Sánchez and Emmanuel Macron, presidents of Spain and France respectively, calling for the reopening of the crossings to be discussed at the 27th Franco-Spanish summit on 19 January in Barcelona. The letter, signed by 31 MEPs, was presented at a press conference at the European Parliament in Strasbourg. Two days later, on 20 January, residents of Espolla reopened the coll for the annual Feria de l'Oli y de l'Olivera in the village. However, on 23 January the French authorities closed the crossing again.

The Coma de Vaca refuge is located at 2000 meters above sea level, on the Yeguas plain, where the Freser and de la Vaca rivers converge. It has 52 beds, hot showers, Wi-Fi and a bar with home cooking.

It is a very steep and fun climb on both sides. The road is very winding, with continuous curves and countercurves, some of these counterbanks. The asphalt is rough and there is no shoulder, although it is true that traffic is very scarce. The eastern slope, which starts from Campdevánol and passes through Gombrèn, is approximately 14 km and in no case does the slope exceed 5%. It is a sunny climb, very favorable for the colder months. In summer it is usually very hot. The western slope, which starts from Guardiola de Berguedà, is a little longer and presents a first section to La Pobla de Lillet characterized by long straights. It has some sections at 6-7% and the last 3 km are the hardest.

The Coll de Banyuls is a mountain pass and border crossing between France and Spain, located in the Albera Massif, the easternmost extension of the Pyrenees. This pass connects the Spanish municipality of Rabós (Alt Empordà, Catalonia) with the French commune of Banyuls-sur-Mer (Pyrénées-Orientales, Occitania). The saddle point of the Coll de Banyuls is located at about 357 meters above sea level. This pass was blocked with large rocks by the French government on January 11, 2021, under the pretext of curbing irregular immigration and the terrorist threat. However, a grassroots organization that was committed to opening the closed border crossings (Esborrem Fronteres) reopened it on January 20, 2023 using an excavator.

The Coll de Merolla is the crossing point between the Pobla de Lillet and Campdevànol, that is to say between the upper Berguedà and the Ripollès. The two slopes are gentle, and halfway, near Gombrèn, there is the link with the Carretera de Montgrony, to continue climbing up to Castellar de N'Hug. At the top is the Merolla refuge, site of the legendary full moon brevet dinner.

The Coll de Merolla refuge is located at 1090 meters above sea level, next to the road that connects Pobla de Lillet and Gombrèn. It consists of a kitchen and dining room and four rooms with bunk beds and capacity for 23 people. There is also a community kitchen and bar and restaurant service.
