Alt de la Penya de Sella
This little gem of a walk is relatively easy and gives access to a delightful high (1159m) summit and ridge, with spectacular views. From Sella the mountain looks (and is) daunting but, for those prepared to drive a little further the rewards are well worth it! Paths & tracks are straightforward and never too steep. But that said, the ridge element is rugged mountain walking.

Directions to start |
From km 20.2 on the CV-770 (NW of Sella) on a sharp bend, turn onto a minor surfaced road heading NE (the co-ordinates given are for this junction, as some sat nav’s will take you by an impassable route!). Follow it for about 7km to Font Pouet Alemany where the surfaced road ends (Lat: 38.63050, Long: -0.24780). Parking space for several cars. Large parties may prefer to park in Sella Lat: 38.60910, Long: -0.26920, and car share to the start. If so, still use junction co-ordinates and not those for the “Font” |
