The Merlès stream zone is very good to practice sports in a nature environment like hiking, treking, mountain biking, skiing.

Hiking There are diferents routes that you can do from Xuriguera de Salsella's farm, like visiting the church of Serra de Salsellas (inside their own farm's property), follow the Merlès' stream or going to Alpens or Santa Eulàlia of Puig-Oriol. The council of Borredà propose us more hiking routes.

Treking

Taking the Natural Park of Cadí-Moixeró Mountains as a reference, there are a lot of excursions and interesting ascents. From all of them the best ones are the ascent of Pedraforca Mountain of 2497 metres. To go there you need to take the Borredà road to Berga and then you arrive to the main road and go direction to Puigcerdà. From there you will branch off forward to Gòsol. We recommend to leave the farm early in the morning because you will use your time well.
