The Top 20 Attractions around Coustouges

You can't just drive to Sadernes and park at the moment. You need a QR code to reserve a parking space. You can download this in advance via a website or at a checkpoint on one of the access roads. The cost was 6 euros. The best thing is to do it in advance, because the first time we came in the weekend everything was already occupied and we had to go back.

This pass was important as a passage between regions, especially in activities such as transhumance or the transport of goods. The snow wells that give the place its name were also key elements in the economy of the mountainous areas. The term "Pou de la Neu" refers to the snow or ice wells that were traditionally used to store snow during the winter. These structures, dug into the ground or built with stones, served to preserve ice that was later transported to the lower areas for use in food, medicine or food preservation.

At 1,373 meters high, the Puig de Bassegoda is located on the border between the regions of La Garrotxa and Alt Empordà. The climb accumulates a lot of positive unevenness in a short distance. For this reason, in the last section it has staples and chains to help itself.

Medieval bridge with a single large semicircular arch. It crosses the Sant Aniol river. It was an obligatory passage for smugglers, charcoal burners and traders. The bridge is located at the access to the Sant Aniol d'Aguja route and the Valencian path that leads to Sales de Llierca.

It is a building dating from the twelfth or early thirteenth century, although it probably existed before an earlier church. The word Prunarias appears in a document from the year 966 as belonging to Sant Pere de Camprodon. The building is mentioned again in 1017. It seems that from shortly after 966 it belonged to the priory of Santa Maria del Coll de Panissars, a situation that must have been maintained until the beginning of the 17th century. In 1617 the church was joined to that of Sant Llorenç d'Oix. In 1661 there were 3 altars: the one of Santa Bàrbara, the one of Santa Caterina and the one of Sant Bartomeu. The church was damaged during the Civil War of 1936-39. The whole complex was completely restored between 1972-1979 by the Friends of Alta Garrotxa. Inside, different artistic pieces were kept, such as a tombstone representing the burial of a lady from the castle of Bestracà, which was damaged during the riots of 1936. Some of the fragments were deposited in the Museum of Olot by Dr. Joaquim Danès. Until the end of the 19th century, a Romanesque carving was venerated there, today deposited in the Museu d'Art de Catalunya, from the Plandiura collection. The fragments of an altarpiece representing the life of the saint are kept in the Parish Museum of Olot. From 1972 to 1981, restoration work was carried out, which meant that the building built on the nave during the 17th and 18th centuries was abandoned, as well as the one that turned the old belfry into a tower, rebuilt after a lightning strike. destroyed it in September 1978.

Its characteristic pointed shape, its height and the fact that it is isolated from other nearby peaks make it easily identifiable. At the foot of the Bassegoda hill on its north-eastern slope, the Borró river, a tributary of the Fluvià, is born. It is actually two peaks separated by a gap. The western one (1363m) is called Taula d'en Gustí and the eastern one (1373m), Taula d'en Sala and is what is properly considered the summit. It seems that the toponym Bassegoda comes from two Basque words: basa, which means 'wilderness, desert', and goiti, which means 'summit, height'; thus Basagoiti would mean 'barren peak', referring to being an absolutely rocky lookout but with excellent 360º views from the Gulf of Roses to Canigó.

It is a medieval bridge with a single large arch. It is the access to the Sant Aniol d’Aguja route and the Valencian path that leads to Sales de Llierca. The toponym of Valencians owes its name to the origin of the engineers who built it to allow access to the forest masses in the interior of Alta Garrotxa. Once crossed we find the old Hostal de Ca la Bruta.

This is a tough 18km climb thats starts out easy and then gets a lot steeper with about 10km to go. Persist and you'll be rewarded with one of the most incredible views of the region, and a cafe that feels like it is in the sky.

Great mountain, very lonely, but also unrhythmic ....

Beautiful bridge to view the gorge. You can walk down to the water here and explore the boulders. Also a great spot to stop and have some refreshments.

Very well restored Romanesque hermitage located on top of a peak located between the Oix valley and the Sadernes area. In fact, there is a GR that comes from Sadernes and goes to Oix. It has a great view of the Alta Garrotxa. You can go up by car (preferably all-terrain) or by mountain bike from the Oix road, and on foot from Sadernes or Oix. Like other hermitages in La Garrotxa, the annex has a house inhabited all year round, so it is necessary to respect the tranquility of the neighbors and watch if you go with dogs.

A legendary and hard climb with spectacular views that make the effort worth it. Narrow road, in good condition and very quiet, both from the Lladó and Besalú and Beuda sides. If we choose to go up from the latter, the route will be a little longer and with harder ramps in the first half.

Long but rewarding climb. Great scenery and a nice view from the top. Restaurant on top. There is a fountain a couple of kms descending on the left side.

Great cafe at the top with a terrace overlooking the amazing view!
