The plan The Pedraforca (2,506m), is one of the most emblematic mountains of Catalonia. Its particular shape with its 2 twin peaks (some says it has a heart shape) have given birth to many legends for centuries. The hike to the top of the Pedraforca has become one of the mythical excursions every mountaineer should do in Catalonia. Located between the municipalities of Saldes and Gósol, in Berguedà, the Pedraforca mountain is part of the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park and its surroundings were declared a "natural site of national interest".
We'll do the classic climb. We'll start at the parking lot of the Mirador de Gresolet, we'll pass by the mountain shelter L. Estasen and we'll go down through its impressive slopes full of gravel.

Su forma especial con sus 2 cimas gemelas y su tartera bien visible desde lejos (unos dicen que tiene forma de corazón) han inspirado a muchas leyendas desde hace siglos. La subida del Pedraforca (piedra – horca) se ha convertido en una de las excursiones míticas de Cataluña. Situada entre los términos municipales de Saldes y Gósol, en el Berguedà, el macizo del Pedraforca hace parte del Parque Natural del Cadí-Moixeró y sus alrededores han sido declarados paraje natural de interés nacional.
Vamos a hacer la subida clásica. Saldremos del aparcamiento del Mirador de Gresolet, pasaremos por el refugio L. Estasen y bajaremos por su impresionante tartera.
