Tips from the Community
Bugaedria d'autoservei, molt pràctica i bon preus. Bona ubicació per travesses al llarg del Pirineu

Located at an altitude of 1,960 meters, this refuge is a key point for cyclists and hikers heading towards the Tossa Plana de Lles or the Nordic ski slopes. The refuge combines a mountain atmosphere with comfortable amenities: a bar, a dining room, and a terrace with open views of the Cadí mountain range. It's a good place to stop, have a hot meal, or adjust your bike before continuing the climb. For mountain biking, the track from Lles has an uneven surface and rocky sections; tires with good grip are recommended, as is maintaining a constant cadence, especially on the final bends where the gradient is noticeable.

This is an old road leading up to the Puigmal ski resort from the village of Err. For many years, this road was abandoned until it was resurfaced in 2023. The result is a narrow, perfectly maintained road that takes us from Err to the Cotzé area, where the first remotes of the old ski resort are located, and where it connects with the main climb from St. Leocadie. This section is approximately 5 km at 8.5% uneven terrain, combining steep slopes with rest areas. It traces three beautiful hairpin bends, one of which offers wonderful panoramic views of the French Cerdanya.

There are many climbs that lead to the upper part of Puigcerdà where it is also in the historic center of the town. This is one of them. It is particularly interesting because it usually hardly has any traffic and is smoother than the other alternatives.

Mountain pass where the last 7km are closed to traffic, the feeling of pedaling through there with such silence and calm is that of almost hiking at high altitudes. The paved summit is 2204m.

Together with Puigcerdà (capital of the Cerdanya region), Alp and Martinet de Cerdaña, it is one of the 4 large towns in the Cerdaña region. It is an urban center with all kinds of services and shops and very pleasant to walk quietly (although steep in its historic center). In my opinion, it is a good place to set up a base camp for routes through Cerdanya and the Catalan Pre-Pyrenees; I do not recommend it as a base camp if you want to go to France or even Andorra since there would be better alternatives for it.
