Tips from the Community
Bugaedria d'autoservei, molt pràctica i bon preus. Bona ubicació per travesses al llarg del Pirineu

Together with Puigcerdà (capital of the Cerdanya region), Alp and Martinet de Cerdaña, it is one of the 4 large towns in the Cerdaña region. It is an urban center with all kinds of services and shops and very pleasant to walk quietly (although steep in its historic center). In my opinion, it is a good place to set up a base camp for routes through Cerdanya and the Catalan Pre-Pyrenees; I do not recommend it as a base camp if you want to go to France or even Andorra since there would be better alternatives for it.

You can access the Masella ski resort through 3 different areas: - Pla de Masella, the main area, where several businesses, bars and hotels are located. - Coma Oriola, the most remote access, which is reached once you have overcome Pla de Masella and after overcoming 7 more km of ascent. He has a small business, only open during the winter months, when the ski resort is open. In summer, there is nothing... only tranquility!!!! - La Pía, an area with a large parking lot and which, like Coma-Oriola, does not have any type of service in summer. La Pía is close to crowning the Collada de Toses and on the route to the Collada de la Creueta. My advice for visiting La Masella by bicycle is without a doubt to go up to Coma Oriola and descend to Pla de Masella to have a drink.

Small and rustic town in the Cerdanya valley. Near the Cadí Tunnel, next to Alp and very close to Bellver, it is perfect to settle down for a few days. In the town there are some shops and restaurants where you can eat very well. The views of the valley from Das are wide and beautiful.

It is the main access to the ski resort, where there are more services, shops and hotels. In summer, the hotels are open and some of the bars & restaurants also reopen.

It is a very good alternative to cross to France and avoid the Puigcerdà pass, especially if you want to go to the Puigmal or Coma Morera area.

It is a very beautiful town, with a lot of activity, commerce and restaurants. The streets are steep. If you plan to enter the old part by bike, keep in mind that many sections are paved.
