Tips from the Community
A spectacular view at 1440m altitude and a 10°C difference compared to the lowlands in early December; an asphalt road all the way to the top, the last stretch being very narrow. We saw ibex at close range!

This path that goes up to La Perdiguera from La Font de la Roca has recently been repaired. Previously, access was very difficult due to the slope and the broken path.
