Serra del Catllaràs

Castell de l’Areny, La Nou de Berguedà, La Pobla de Lillet, Sant Julià de Cerdanyola, Sant Jaume de Frontanyà, Borredà and Vilada.

This limestone massif is unique in that it contains a vast array of geological and biological diversity within a relatively small area.

Here we can see the typical vegetation found on shaded and sunny slopes in the eastern Pre-Pyrenees, including holm-oak woods, oak, pine and beech groves, with boxtrees (quite rare in Alt Berguedà). It is possible to see flora and fauna which are of considerable interest, both due to their rarity and vulnerability, such as the Edelweiss and deer.

Some of the specific places of interest in this area are: Roc de la Lluna, Joc de la Pilota, Roc del Catllaràs, Roc de la Clusa, the Pla del Catllaràs and Serra del Catllaràs. We should mention the Xalet del Catllaràs, inspired by Gaudí, though the original Modernist features have now disappeared.

Taking in all these places is easy, you just have to follow one of the long or short waymarked paths (GRs and PRs).
