Pretty little chapel, located on the GR7

Magnificent church of Sant Romà de la Clusa in an unbeatable setting, with spectacular views of the Serra del Catllaràs. It belongs to the municipality of Castell de l'Areny, and to get there you can go from the track that leaves the town of Vilada, it's about 10km uphill with some quite demanding sections. The path that follows, cut in the rock, hangs over deep precipices cut by the Clusa stream. Next door is the manor house of the same name. The Mirador is also located a few meters below. Also highly recommended.

Located a few meters from the Hermitage of Sant Romà de la Clusa, is this magnificent viewpoint of the entire Catllaràs range. Don't miss the sights. The climb up here is on a cycle path but with considerable difficulty. Since they are kms uphill.

Forest trail of the Serra de Catllaràs, about 12 km from the center of La Pobla de Lillet. This Villa was designed by Antoni Gaudí in 1902, right in the middle of the woods. It served as accommodation for the technicians and engineers of the Catllaràs coal mines, until the Asland cement company ceded it to the City Council in 1932 when activity ceased at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1971 it was renovated as a dormitory but at the end of the 1980s it was disused and in a state of significant degradation. It is now currently undergoing restoration.

La Nou de Berguedà is a small town where getting there by bike is quite a challenge, whatever the slope, and in the town itself, you will find ramps higher than 10%, but well rewarded with spectacular views.

Vila de Vilada is on the C26 road from Ripoll to Berga, the Pirinenc axis. It is a quiet place with good views of the Valley and places to get refreshments.

The Sant Romà de la Clusa refuge is a good option in the area. It is important to call in advance to find out if they have all the services, what day of the week is a holiday and when it is closed for holidays. In the vicinity of the town there is also the possibility of free camping.

The area between Malanyeu and la Nou, and up to the Baells reservoir is one of the most beautiful in Berguedà for cycling. Strong but short climbs.
