Parc Natural del Cadí-Moixeró, established in 1983, encompasses over 41,000 hectares of mountainous terrain in the north of Catalonia, near the Andorran border. The park's dramatic landscape is defined by the Serra del Cadí and Serra de Moixeró mountain ranges, connected by the Tancalaporta pass, forming an impressive natural barrier. Vulturó, the park's highest peak, reaches 2,648 meters. The park boasts a remarkable biodiversity, with over 1,500 plant species, including many endemic to the Pyrenees. Lush forests of oak, beech, and pine cover the lower elevations, giving way to subalpine meadows as you ascend. The park is also home to diverse fauna, including the Pyrenean chamois, red deer, the elusive bearded vulture, and the Pyrenean owl. Beyond its natural beauty, the park has a rich cultural heritage. Small villages, some dating back a thousand years, are scattered throughout the foothills, showcasing traditional rural architecture. The park offers a wide array of activities, including hiking, horse trekking, cycling, wildlife watching, and skiing. Numerous trails cater to all levels, from leisurely nature walks to challenging mountain ascents. Popular trails include the GR 150, a 150km loop around the park, and routes to the summit of Pedraforca, a iconic Catalan symbol. Visitor centers in Bagà, Saldes, Tuixent, Martinet and Bellver de Cerdanya provide information and resources for exploring the park.
