Route circulate around the Pedraforca, emblematic mountain of Catalonia.

The Pedraforca has a very particular form with two beaks (the upper beak of 2.497 metres and the Calderer of 2.491 metres). The nearest villages are Gósol and Saldes. Pedraforca Situates in the saw of the Cadí.
In 1982 it was declared by the Parliament of Catalonia reserves natural of national interest.
The Pedraforca is a mountainous training especially attractive by his profile in shape of Or. It formed it does some 25 million years. The erosion of the wind and the water gave him his current form in the peak, that is composed by materials more sensitive to the erosion. Incidentally, the periods of ice and thaw have crumbled progressively the rock forming the famous Tartera of the expensive south.
A bit before arriving to Guardiola of Berguedà, after having happened the tunnel of the Collet, takes a road by the left that goes to Saldes and Gósol. We have to happen the population of Saldes and, to few metres, will see the sign, manually right, that will carry us to the oriel of Gresolet (place of exit of the excursion).

Hello subi To the pedraforca, late something but of 9 hours between rise and descent, weight 75kg and look 1,50cm, have sore the knees and cost me a lot of and with pains, slip me 5 times falling of culo to the soil, these small stones slip a lot, if it did not go by the impressive landscape had not gone up…..
The grimpada to the Pol.I bequeath Upper is very hard and many times is not vértigo but impression to the not being accustomed to be to these heights and to the terrain of trepada vertical. I at the beginning thought when hize the Matagalls I the Bastiments and others that was vértigo but afterwards when doing a lot of gave me account that was impression to the not being accustomed to be to these heights. The descent by the tartera at the beginning seems normal but afterwards puts the slope in vertical and the truth happened it very bad.
It is not easy, sure that go up but have to take into account the descent by his desnivel. Pure adrenaline.
If they impress you the heights do not advise you to do it, and if you dare centrate in your feet will help you to relax you and will achieve it.

Hello Pau, went up the Pedraforca the past day 9 of Julio, do not go up with the dog say it to you with absolute certainty.
Go up the Pedraforca seems that all the world can do it, but is not like this, as when you go up mountains already know that you have to realise a more or less considerable effort in function of the distance; the slope; desnivel etc.., but in the Pedraforca it is necessary to consider the “grimpadas” , the one of approximation after the collado of the Verdet i the most vertical to do peak.
There are not fixed ropes with which all reduces to your capacity of hold, physical effort and not having vértigo (especially).
This review that have done, explains the quantity of accidents and rescues that suceden with too much frequency. It IS not EASY HIKING there are STRETCHES OF DEGREE II i/or II+
It leaves the dog home. It is not a way, are stones, besides that there is a stretch of rope. If you want it, leave it home.
hello, I am thinking in going up to the pedraforca but go with my dog, is a dog very agil and me to accompanied until the puigmal, bastiments, taga, until with quite a lot of snow, but the pedraforca all the world says me that with dog can not ..
It is really so dificil ??
Greetings.
Hello, it is not that it was difficult, but has steps very aerial and some trepada strong. I to mine would not carry it, but that at all by that if in some point blocks me the thing can complicate a lot, there is some zone in that go back to backwards is complicated.
It does not have at all that see with Puigmal, Bastiments and less the Taga. It is very vertical and it is necessary grimpar.
Subi To the pedraforca does 2 dias for the first time. I am a person with vertigo and the truth that sufri enough in the grimpada, no by the difficulty but by the vertigo.. Once I saw me ahi do not remain me more remedy that go on, pq the option to retreat was even worse.. asi That throw upwards without looking down and the consegui, but have clear that will not go back..
This biien know it thank you
It has to know that the grimpada or trepada final to arrive to the «pollegós» is quite vertiginous and there are quite a lot of people that have requested rescue in the same wall when having blocked by panic and in this point is worse to try destrepar that follow upwards. Value it to the little to begin.
Juanjo, thank you by the comment.
Of how many metres of grimpada are soften?
