One of the most popular spots is Pedraforca, a twin peaked mountain rising to 2,497m, the north face of which is sheer for nearly 800m and attracts experienced rock climbers.

In the valleys you will find lush vegetation including pine, beech, maple, aspen, juniper and rhododendron, plus, you will also find hay meadows.
At higher levels you will find alpine meadows with wild flowers including gentian, crocus and alpine anemone.
The relatively high rainfall in areas creates some rivers and waterfalls, though being limestone, much of the water drains naturally.
