"Iconic and emblematic mountain of Catalan geography; climbing it to the top is one of the pleasures we can't miss"

The ascent to the top of Pedraforca (2,507m) is very varied; we will start from 1600m following a pleasant path where we will find subalpine vegetation of black pine, juniper and boxwood. As we move forward, the landscape will change radically; the vegetation disappears to leave the limestone bare, compact and perfect for climbing it step by step to the top. During the tour we will have very good panoramic views of the Berguedà and the Sierra del Cadí. In order to better understand this wonderful mountain I will give you details of geology, flora and fauna in an agile and easy format. Activity aimed at those people who enjoy a good physical condition.

Program

Meeting point: at 8:30 in front of the Cal Manel hostel, Saldes. Before starting, there will be a 5 'breafing to explain the experience and operation of the activity.
