At the crossroads of the central and Mediterranean Pyrenees, between 800 and 2600 m above sea level, large rocky barriers separate two of the most beautiful hiking areas in the Catalan countries: * CERDANYA to the north * BERGUEDA to the south
Our selection of routes offers striking contrasts between the bucolic atmosphere of the Segre valley on the Cerdan side and the emblematic peaks and wild expanses of the southern side.
Crossing the limestone cliffs and their soaring passes, peace, solitude, and panoramic views await you. In the valleys, the characterful hamlets and villages welcome visitors with kindness and simplicity.

IN
Beyond the highly contrasting terrain, what makes the landscapes so rich and captivating is its carefully preserved cultural heritage. A place of refuge and exchange, the Pyrenees remain a vibrant region crisscrossed by countless trails linking villages and their Romanesque churches, castles, monasteries, and medieval bridges, and, more generally, all the places of life perpetuating a civilization rich in more than 1,000 years of history.
