Guided Hiking in Pedraforca – Ascent to Pollegó Superior

The Pedraforca massif, located in the Berguedà region, is a prominent mountain known for its distinctive forked shape and location within the Parc Natural del Cadí-Moixeró. This route climbs approximately 971 meters to reach the summit of Pollegó Superior at 2,506 meters, passing through rugged terrain, scree fields, and alpine zones. Hikers traverse steep sections with exposed paths, natural rock formations, and seasonal snow patches in early summer. The ascent offers sweeping vistas of the surrounding valleys, including the Garrotxa and the Cerdanya region. Along the trail, visitors encounter rare flora such as the Pyrenean violet and alpine saxifrage, as well as wildlife including the Iberian ibex and golden eagles. The summit provides a vantage point for panoramic views of the entire Cadí-Moixeró range. The route concludes at the highest point, where a weathered stone cairn marks the peak. This hike is recommended for experienced hikers with good physical fitness and navigation skills, and is best undertaken between late June and early October when conditions are stable and safe.
