Igloo-style shelter built with layered stones, with a tiny entrance and surprisingly spacious interior. Unfortunately, the interior smells of human waste. Despite the great location on the long-distance trail and just below the ridge, it's more of a visual highlight... If the weather is stable, I'd rather spend the night outside the hut than inside.

It is a very steep and fun climb on both sides. The road is very winding, with continuous curves and countercurves, some of these counterbanks. The asphalt is rough and there is no shoulder, although it is true that traffic is very scarce. The eastern slope, which starts from Campdevánol and passes through Gombrèn, is approximately 14 km and in no case does the slope exceed 5%. It is a sunny climb, very favorable for the colder months. In summer it is usually very hot. The western slope, which starts from Guardiola de Berguedà, is a little longer and presents a first section to La Pobla de Lillet characterized by long straights. It has some sections at 6-7% and the last 3 km are the hardest.

The Coll de Merolla is the crossing point between the Pobla de Lillet and Campdevànol, that is to say between the upper Berguedà and the Ripollès. The two slopes are gentle, and halfway, near Gombrèn, there is the link with the Carretera de Montgrony, to continue climbing up to Castellar de N'Hug. At the top is the Merolla refuge, site of the legendary full moon brevet dinner.

The Coll de Merolla (1,099 m) separates the counties of Ripollès and Berguedà. At the same pass you will find the refuge of Merolla, where you can make a good stop and have something, if you need strength to continue the route https://www.catalunya.com/refugi-coll-de-la-merolla-17-13006-25?language=ca

Both the Coma de Vaca refuge and the Camí dels Enginyers (which connects the refuge with the sanctuary of Núria) have their origins in the failed project to build a reservoir in the Coma de Vaca valley. The initial construction was a simple stone house that served to house the workers who carried out the initial study of the reservoir. The electric company gave up its effort, and gave the house to the Federation of Excursionist Organizations of Catalonia (FEEC). In 1998, the FEEC demolished the original house to build a new, modern and guarded shelter. The refuge has beds, showers, stove, bar-restaurant service and Internet. It is recommended to book at www.comadevaca.cat
