    Tips

    April 5, 2022

    Despite its gentle and flat elevation covered with pebbles, its location, point where the ridges of Noucreus (W), Serrat del Mig (S) and Picos de la Vaca (E) meet, make its panoramas spectacular.
    Crowned by an iron cross, which falls carved on the Coma de Vaca (S), on the other hand, from the Noucreus pass it looks like a rounded ridge without the appearance of a peak.
    Good point of view towards the Puigmal (SO), the Coma de l'Embut and the Noucreus, with the sanctuary of Núria at the bottom of the valley; the ridge that closes the Núria valley to the N, with the Puig del Segre, the Finestrelles pass (W), the Eina peak, the Noufonts peak and the Noucreus peak and pass in front. To the right, from the Noufonts peak we see the Torre d'Eina, Cambresdase and, behind, the Carlit. Further on, the ochre-colored spiers of Torre d'en Xillén and Pic del Boc and, below this peak, Pic Rodó. To the N we see the ridge that separates the Riberola valley from the Carançà valley, with the Racó peaks and the Porc pass gap. At the bottom of the valley we distinguish the Capcir and the Donasà mountains; on the right. the Racó peaks, the Madres massif and, in front, the Redó and Gallinars peaks; to the ENE, the Pico de l'Infern and, behind it, the Puig de Bastiments, to the left of which you can barely see the tip of Canigó and, further to the left, the Pico de Bacivers. Below the Pico de l'Infern you can see the Carançà pass and, to its right, the Picos de la Vaca, with the screes that fall to the bottom of the Coma de Vaca; to the SE, the summit of Les Borregues and, towards the right, the ridge up to Puig de Baandrau (SSE); to the S, the Puig de Torreneules. Further to the right we have, nearby, the summits of Les Arques and the summit of Rocs Blancs, which is higher. In this sector, if the day is clear, the view is very extensive and we can distinguish the peaks of Puigsacalm and Montseny, the plain of Vic, the peak of Coma Ermada, Catllaràs and the Peguera plains. We continue descending in a SE direction to find the trail that follows the ridge towards the S.
