Itinerary description

Easy hike that will allow you to the high plateau east to Ull de Ter. This is very interesting in late spring and summer, when many bird species breed here. Also a late summer walk can yield interesting birds such as Dotter appart from other more common migrants. This is also a very good place to look for the Grey Partridge. Golden Eagle, Griffon Vulture or Lammergeier are also lilkely to be seen at any time of the year.
Beware of wind and fog: even if the walk is easy they can turn it into a very unconfortable or even dangerous adventure!

This is a modest summit but much less busier than its neighbours.

    Gracias por la ruta y por compartirla. Hicimos un tramo y es espectacular las vistas y el paisaje. Efectivamente, como comentas, está muy expuesta hacia mucho viento y frio el día que fuimos, por lo que la tuvimos que acortar.
    Vimos Buitre Leonado, Quebrantahuesos, Collalba Gris y Bisbita Alpino entre otros.
