Mirador de Gresolet.
0:00 h; 1.560 m. Small
parking place where the road coming
from Saldes gets somewhat broader.
Splendid panorama of the Gresolet
Valley. Right before the parking we
take a marked path which goes up to
the shelter, through the woods.
Shelter Lluís
Estasen. 0:15 h; 1.647 m.
Located in the Jaça dels Prats.
We take the indicated path (NW), which
flanks the northern wall of the mountain
through a wood of black pinetrees.
Travessem several torrent-heads (canal)
and afterwards the one of Riumbau,
full of pebbles, which comes down
from the wall (25'). We still have
to cross the Canal del Verdet. The
path starts going up from here. We
pass the cave of Orenetes (45'). We
cross a rill where we find a fountain.
After a small pass we go up on a torrent
bed and arrive to a pass.
Coll del Verdet.
1:45 h; 2.245 m. Located
NW of the ridge of Pedraforca, between
Cim Nord and Cap del Verdet. There
is a path coming from Gósol
at our right. We have abandoned the
woods and start walking on nude rock.
We follow the yellow marks, using
feet and hands and continue going
up for the last meters of the Canal
del Verdet. That last part is specially
nice. We continue on the ridge at
left, arrive to Cim Nord ( 2.428 m),
go down and up again to pic Occidental
(2.476 m), down once more, a little
bit up and we get there.
Pollegó
Superior. 2:35 h; 2.497 m.
On a clear day the view is extraordinary:
To N and NE the near Serra de Cadí-Moixeró
and Pics de la Cerdanya; to the E,
serres de Catllaràs, Taga and
the Pyrennees in Ripollès;
to the S, Rasos de Peguera and Serra
d'Ensija and Montserrat in the far
end; and to the 'W, serres del Port
del Comte, Boumort and Montsec. We
descend to the other side, also yellow-marked,
paying attention to the stony ground.
Enforcadura.
(Fork between peaks) 2:55 h; 2.348
m. If you want to do a
round circuit, must go down towards
E. But to go to Gósol we take
right (W), following the marks which
will be with us for the rest of the
journey. The Tartera (gravel slopy
ground) of Gósol is not so
steep as the one of Saldes and the
path is clear all along the way. It
goes down diagonally -by the head
of several branches forming the torrent
of l'Aubagó- to go join the
serra de la Tossa. Once there, the
path goes down for a while by the
edge direction SW, till it arrives
to a field.
Pla de la
Serra. 4:10 h; 1.870 m.
We walk again westwards through a
black pine tree plantation on a steep
descent till the torrent of Rubinat.
At the other side of it the path becomes
smoother and takes us to a small roundabout
at the entry of the village.
Gósol.
5:10 h. End of the itinerary.
The village well deserves a visit.
