Magnificent church of Sant Romà de la Clusa in an unbeatable setting, with spectacular views of the Serra del Catllaràs. It belongs to the municipality of Castell de l'Areny, and to get there you can go from the track that leaves the town of Vilada, it's about 10km uphill with some quite demanding sections. The path that follows, cut in the rock, hangs over deep precipices cut by the Clusa stream. Next door is the manor house of the same name. The Mirador is also located a few meters below. Also highly recommended.

It is a very steep and fun climb on both sides. The road is very winding, with continuous curves and countercurves, some of these counterbanks. The asphalt is rough and there is no shoulder, although it is true that traffic is very scarce. The eastern slope, which starts from Campdevánol and passes through Gombrèn, is approximately 14 km and in no case does the slope exceed 5%. It is a sunny climb, very favorable for the colder months. In summer it is usually very hot. The western slope, which starts from Guardiola de Berguedà, is a little longer and presents a first section to La Pobla de Lillet characterized by long straights. It has some sections at 6-7% and the last 3 km are the hardest.

The Sant Romà de la Clusa refuge is a good option in the area. It is important to call in advance to find out if they have all the services, what day of the week is a holiday and when it is closed for holidays. In the vicinity of the town there is also the possibility of free camping.

The Coll de Merolla is the crossing point between the Pobla de Lillet and Campdevànol, that is to say between the upper Berguedà and the Ripollès.

At the top is the Merolla refuge, site of the legendary full moon brevet dinner.

The Catllaràs chalet is a curious modernist building built by Gaudí and located in the mountain range of the same name. It is surprising for its peculiar shape and architectural details that correspond to the naturalistic stage of the famous Catalan architect.

From the other side, that of Campdevànol, it is almost 15 kilometers long, and again it is a gentle ascent, with the hardest kilometer at 4.8%.
