    PLAN OF OUR TRIP


    The Pedraforca     is an emblematic mountain of Catalonia that is located to the south of the Sierra del Cadí, within the area of the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park, acting as a boundary between the provinces of Barcelona and Lérida (in the Bergadá region).

    It has a very peculiar shape due to its two peaks separated by a large collar. Its best-known view is the one that can be seen from its eastern slope. The northern peak is composed by two main peaks: the Pollegó Superior (2506 m) and the Calderer (2505m). The southern peak is made up of the Lower Pollegó (2445m). Gósol and Saldes are the towns at its feet.

    Route Description: The route starts at the Mirador de Gresolet car park, at the foot of the north face. A path ascends to the Estasen Refuge (named after a famous Catalan climber), to cross canals and forests under the wall North, and reach Coll del Verdet, from where a steep rocky channel begins that will force us to climb to tread the first peak. From there, an impressive crest will leave us after several climbs short, at the top of Pollegó Superior (2506 m).

    Once there, and depending on the schedule and the experience of the group (not suitable for neophytes), we will follow the ridge towards Calderer (2505m), where we will need to overcome two rocky barriers equipped with chains, to access its wild top. The descent will be reaching the wide pass (La Enforcadura), where we will go down the pan until we reach the forest and return to the refuge and the starting point.
