Tips from the Community
¿Cómo es la pista forestal? Ancho y firme: Es una pista no asfaltada de tierra y piedra. La vía transcurre principalmente entre pino negro y bosque, por lo que va resguardada durante la mayor parte del recorrido. Presencia de precipicios: No es una pista colgada sobre acantilados vertiginosos ni de caída en picado constante. No obstante, al ser una carretera de alta montaña, en algunos tramos sí hay laderas expuestas hacia el valle o curvas sin barreras de protección laterales como las que encuentras en una carretera convencional. Cruce de vehículos: Hay tramos donde la pista es algo estrecha y, si te cruzas con otro coche en sentido contrario, hay que maniobrar despacio para apartarse hacia uno de los laterales o apartaderos.

Access by private vehicle to Les Pollineres is restricted all year round via both the Lles and Aransa tracks. In Summer (August to early September): A shuttle bus operates from Fornell and the Cap del Rec refuge. Rest of the year: Motorized access is limited to authorized residents. You will have to leave your car at the Nordic ski stations (Lles or Aransa) and walk, which increases the duration and elevation gain of the route. The ideal way is to go up by mountain bike or gravel bike from Martinet.

La Font de les Pollineres is a recreational area and mountain refuge located at an altitude of 2,100 meters in Lles de Cerdanya (Lleida).

High mountain crossing point with spectacular views over the Cadí and the Pedraforca massif. The pass marks the boundary between black pine forests and alpine meadows, and is an ideal place to catch your breath before tackling the final climb to the summit. On a mountain bike, the climb is tough and with rocky sections that may require pushing the bike at some points. Tip: slow down and save your energy for the last section; the reward is a panoramic view that will make you forget your tiredness.

Aransa Station Parking (Lles de Cerdanya). The perfect starting point for mountain biking and hiking routes through the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park. Located at approximately 1,550 meters, the parking area offers ample space, nearby water fountains, and open views of the valley. In summer, it's quiet and ideal for starting climbs towards the Pradell Refuge or the Estanys de la Pera lakes. For mountain biking, the start is direct and somewhat demanding: a wide track with a continuous incline. Tip: warm up well before leaving the pavement, pace yourself, and conserve energy, as the initial climbs can be punishing if you start too fast.

Located at an altitude of 1,960 meters, this refuge is a key point for cyclists and hikers heading towards the Tossa Plana de Lles or the Nordic ski slopes. The refuge combines a mountain atmosphere with comfortable amenities: a bar, a dining room, and a terrace with open views of the Cadí mountain range. It's a good place to stop, have a hot meal, or adjust your bike before continuing the climb. For mountain biking, the track from Lles has an uneven surface and rocky sections; tires with good grip are recommended, as is maintaining a constant cadence, especially on the final bends where the gradient is noticeable.

Font de Viliella (Lles de Cerdanya). A small hidden gem in the heart of the village, under a stone porch with a tiled roof, so typical of the Cerdanya region. Fresh water flows between ancient walls, with a half-erased inscription that hints at its history. Ideal for filling your water bottle and taking a breath of fresh air before continuing your ride up the slopes of the Pyrenees. If you're on a mountain bike, be careful on the uphill section from Prullans: it's short but steep and has loose stones; it's best to take it easy and at a leisurely pace, as the spring deserves to be enjoyed when you arrive with plenty of breath.
