Nice scenic mountain summit with panoramic 360 degree views. If accessing from the southwest there are a couple of short chains which appear a bit unnecessary but are useful. Egress down the ridge to the northwest has been complicated from 2024 onward due to the large and controversial housing development site. The contractors apparently are under instruction to always provide a suitable route for walkers but you may have to detour slightly.

Fantastic views and nice rocks to sit and have your lunch. Large flat area for large walking groups. Accessible from Murla on a steep SAC T3 path via the Hermita and Penya Migdia which does not include any chains or staples - BUT - if you continue west along the route there are chains and staples SAC T4 and T5 to negotiate. The T5 is a descent heading west to east and appears more daunting than if you were making an ascent. In my humble view it does not warrant a T5 rating. In reality any average competent walker will not experience any significant problem.

Beautiful, but a bit more challenging than indicated. Some trails are overgrown, and the descent at the end is not for those with a fear of heights.

We do not recommend this path for the regular climber/hiker. We turned back halfway because it was too dangerous. Sharp rocks, a precipice and no marked path.

The start of the climb is demanding and gradually becomes easier. A rocky climb with ruts. A slight descent on stones, an accessible path and a descent on a well-paved road.

This section is "off-piste" to get to the top of Cavall Verd. It involves staples, a chain and some steep rock. This part of the trail must be descended the same way as you clambered up.

The tour was very nice but the descent was a blatant challenge. It was steep all the way down and you have to shimmy from rock to rock, often on all fours. You should really only do it if you are not afraid of heights, if you are in good physical condition and definitely not with children. We were on the road for 4 hours with two short drinking breaks.

The prominent Antennas on the Serra de Segària offer magnificent 360-degree views over the coast and valley.
