Fantastic panoramic views all around; this summit is well worth it, as you can see from my two panorama photos. Ascent from Estany de Sotllo via the pass. I took the partly exposed scrambling/climbing ridge via Pic Verdaguer. Beautiful scrambling; you just have to be careful to stay on the right track. Descent around the summit, then back to the same pass and down past the same beautiful mountain lakes, and via the Valferrera Hut into the valley. The length and roughness of this route surprised me. Luckily, I didn't start my ascent from the hut. The section along the mountainside, especially above the hut, was quite challenging. There are frequent short climbs over rocky outcrops, and at one point, I found myself on a side path below the main trail, which then ended in the undergrowth. After a short climb, everything was fine again.

Tor is one of the highest villages in the Pyrenees, right on the border with Andorra. It is a small town in the Catalan Pyrenees administratively belonging to the municipality of Alins, in the Pallars Sobirá region. This village borders Andorra. The village is at an altitude of 1,649 meters and is surrounded by two ravines. On the peak north of the village, known as Roc de Sant Pere, are the ruins of a medieval castle, Força de Tor, and nearby are the remains of a Romanesque church. The village is not very well connected. On the Spanish side, there is a paved road that leads to a small bridge, after which there is a private dirt road that runs for a distance of one and a half kilometers to reach the village. To the east, another dirt road leads to Andorra, which forks before reaching the Principality. In winter, these roads become covered with snow, making vehicle traffic difficult. Due to its strategic position on the passes to Andorra through the Pyrenees, ownership of Tor Mountain has been a source of conflict, initially over timber exploitation and later over real estate interests, in addition to the smuggling routes that passed through to Andorra. These conflicts are part of Tor's dark history and one of its most tragic events.

The Cabús Pass is a mountain pass that crosses the Pyrenees at 2,302 m above sea level. It is located on the border between Andorra and Spain, between the parish of La Massana and the municipality of Alins. Only the Andorran side is paved. From Alins, in the High Pyrenees, the climb is impressive and involves paths and trails that are not always in good condition.

Poblar de Segur, the pass on the marked beautiful route

The summit can be reached from several sides. The direct route from the Spanish side to the summit ridge is challenging (I estimate it to be T5 according to the SAC scale). However, you can "cheat" by first crossing the pass to the left to the north side, after which you have to descend a bit to reach the trail from the French side. The technically easiest ascent is certainly from the north via the Refuge du Pinet (T3). However, from the parking lot at L'Artigue, the total elevation gain is around 2,000 meters, which is why staying overnight at the refuge is a good option (a winter room was open in October 2024, €8 per night). I chose the third option, from the Étang de Soulcem. From there, it's "only" 1,500 meters of elevation gain with a difficulty of T3+/T4-. However, I chose a variant for the ascent (see my tour) that isn't on the map and that I would rate as T4+.
