Cavalls Of the vent

The shelter Rebost (1640m) has an excellent sight on the Alt Berguedà and since it reformed has airs of an ancient house of payés. Situated in the middle of forests of black pine and álbar, and the first alpine meadows, turns away to the mountain that will have to go up. A marked way with yellow (ancient marks UEC) carries us in constant but soft promotion until Comafloriu.

From the Serrat Big go up already by the GR150.1, and almost without trees and a lot of meadow, and more seen, top the summit of the travesía. Niu Of l'Àliga (2510m), to horse between the Berguedà and the Cerdanya, is the highest shelter of the Pyrenees that is saved all the year. Besides it has meteorological station and cameras of TV that sometimes teach us the time that does in The Molina. The best of this stretch is to look: Montseny, Montserrat, distinguishes half Catalonia in a clear day, and the attentive observer can begin to do inventory of bichos recognised; rebeco, quebrantahuesos, real eagle, marmot, grouse, vulture,... They will do us company during all the turn.
