What to see:

Without a doubt, it’s one of the best viewpoints in Cerdanya. This hill covered by a mountain pine forest looms over the Segre Valley.

To the south, you’ll get extensive views overlooking the entire Cerdanya valley floor and the massifs of Puigmal, Puigllançada, La Tosa, Moixeró and Cadí. You’ll also see most of Alt Urgell and, even in the distance, the Serra del Montsec mountain range, which is already in Pallars Jussà.

To the north, you’ll see the summits of Punçó, Monturull, Perafita, Bobinar, Tossa Plana de Lles and a good chunk of Llosa Valley and Carbassa.

Below you, you can see the villages of Toloriu, Aristot, Montellà and a good number of villages on the Cerdanya valley floor.
