Among all the zones, the north side stands out for its dramatic landscapes, challenging climbs, and unparalleled ambiance. This guide covers the routes from the Coll del Cavall Bernat in the east to the Pas de la Portella in the west, with the inclusion of the nearby Agulla del Projectil due to its geographic proximity and the interest of its routes.
