Access

From Planoles you can drive along a narrow paved road up to 1900 meters by car. Hence there are several options. I recommend going towards Mount Puigmal. But you can also observe almost everything from the first parking lot at the end of the road. Click on the P in the map for directions. From May the path is usually free of snow. In the woods on the way up lives Western Capercaillie.

A partir de mayo el camino suele estar libre de nieve.
