Estany Sec (2,138 m)

Highlight • Lake

This is the route from the villages to the first two lakes. You start with a coffee at Can Borrell and from there you hike up. It’s a steep 25 degrees start. From there on it gets better and you will get rewarded with fantastic views onto the valley

Puigpedrós Summit (2,911 m)

Highlight • Summit

Puigpedròs with its 2,911m is the highest peak in Catalan Cerdanya. Its ascent, although long, has no technical difficulties and allows us to reach a privileged viewpoint. At the top, the view stretches from Canigó to Aneto. It is an ascent of about 800 meters of difference in level in which we can invest between 5 and 7 hours to go up and down by its normal route. We can also extend the excursion and make a circular tour around Malniu lake, or through the Engorgs lakes and the GR-11. Very losing peak in case of encountering fog.
