지스클라레니 최고의 등산 경로

Located at the foot of the majestic Pedraforca, it is one of the most emblematic refuges in the Pyrenees. Starting point for classic ascents to the summit and ideal place to enjoy the high mountain atmosphere. The building, surrounded by meadows and forests, offers imposing views and an impressive calm. By mountain bike, the final access from Saldes is demanding, with a steep slope and loose stone; it is best to tackle it with patience and good traction. Tip: if you get there in the afternoon, stay for a few minutes — the light over Pedraforca is pure magic.

A beautiful refuge at the foot of the north face of Pedradorca, it's worth the climb to discover it.

For me it is one of the nicest refuges in the area, small and cozy.

If you are passing through, do not hesitate to visit the 11th century castle and its famous Picasso Center, where you can see some of the works he created during the time he lived in this town.

It is a very well preserved mountain town, located in a unique enclave. If you cycle through on a long-distance route, there is a bar in the town's main square that is very pleasant, especially on hot days.

Gósol is a small, but spectacular, mountain town in the heart of the Cadí-Moixeró natural park. Apart from having the ruins of an ancient castle, it enjoys magnificent views of the surrounding mountains. Its location makes it ideal to start routes or make a stop along the way. Just as Picasso himself did in 1906, who is said to have changed his style after a brief stay.

The views are beautiful but I recommend doing this route during the week so as not to arrive and meet a lot of people above. On weekends there can be a lot of traffic.

Also a good starting point (and car park) for a hike to the Vall d'Els Cortils or to the Costa dels Cabirols.
