Beautiful area in the Ordino-Arcalís sector. The climb is from the first parking lot on the road. If you dare, you can reach the Pic de Peyreguils, where they installed the sundial (iron that the mountains do not need). If you don't like walking, you can go up on the chairlift that is open between the months of June and September, but you see early on that a lot of people gather.
