Tips from the Community
Small Romanesque church located on a plateau with open views of the Cadí and the Segre valley. It retains its original structure and exudes a beautiful simplicity, surrounded by meadows and silence. It is a perfect place to take a break and feel the calm of the mountain. By mountain bike, access is by track with some rocky sections but without excessive difficulty. Tip: take the opportunity to have a drink or take a photo before facing the next climb; the morning light here is especially beautiful.

A magnificent example of rural Romanesque architecture from the Cerdà region, surrounded by fields and with the Cadí River as a backdrop. The building retains the original apse and a sober charm that conveys calm and authenticity. It is an ideal place to stop for a few minutes and breathe in the silence. By mountain bike, you can reach it by a smooth, well-marked track from Bellver; the final stretch may have some loose gravel, but it is easily cycled. Tip: if you go there in the afternoon, the golden light illuminates the stone and turns the visit into a small Pyrenean postcard.

Small refuge located at 1,510m within the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park. It is reached by a forest track with quite a steep slope, suitable for mountain biking. It is a good stop to rest, eat or spend the night if you are doing long routes like Cavalls del Vent. It has basic services: bunk beds with mattresses and blankets, showers, dining area and kitchen. If it is open, it offers half board; if it is closed, it can be used as an emergency shelter. It is not a spectacular place, but it is useful and well located if you happen to be passing by.
