Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park

Nature · Cava, Alt Urgell, Lleida

Declared on 15 July 1983, it protects 41,342 hectares of pre-Pyrenean mountain ranges between the Berguedà, the Alt Urgell and the Cerdanya, from 900 metres up to the 2,648 metres of the Vulturó. It is home to some 1,400 plant species and fauna such as the chamois and the capercaillie. It comprises the Cadí range, of limestone rock and rugged relief with a particularly striking north face, and the Moixeró range, which join at the Tancalaporta pass, at 2,357 metres, forming a barrier that separates the Segre valley from the headwaters of the river Llobregat. In its southern part stands the Pedraforca, a mountain of characteristic shape and one of the symbols of Catalan hiking.
