The church marks the turning point towards the pass, in a few kilometers you climb 600 meters of altitude difference.

It is located at the bottom of a deep valley, dominated by the northern slope of Pedraforca, among flat pastures surrounded by forest and rocks, and very close to the Gresolet Forest. We also find the Sanctuary of Gresolet, which in the 13th century was already a center of important Marian devotion, and in the 14th century it was renovated under the patronage of the Barons of Pinós; there is evidence that there was already a priest there. The current building and the neighboring inn were built in the 17th century. It consists of a nave with side chapels, a square presbytery with the Virgin's alcove, and a choir stall at the foot of the church. The altarpiece was lost during the Civil War. Currently, the Virgin of Gresolet (13th century) is venerated in the Church of San Martín de Saldes. It is a polychrome wooden carving depicting the crowned Virgin. It can be accessed via a track.

A charming corner at the bottom of the valley, surrounded by beech and fir forests that keep it cool until summer. The building, of medieval origin, stands in a peaceful spot, with Pedraforca watching from above. The place is perfect for resting or having a bite to eat at the spring before continuing the route. By mountain bike, the descent to the sanctuary is fast and rocky, with tight bends and shady sections that can be wet. Tip: watch your brakes and enjoy the silence — here you can only hear the water and the forest.
