Cresta del pic de Gelis

The Pic de Gelis Ridge is a beginner-friendly scramble located near the Sant Llorenç de Montgai Reservoir in the Noguera region—an ideal activity in autumn or winter for anyone keen to discover the thrilling world of mountain ridges. The three-hour route tackles short vertical walls up to grade 4, airy exposed sections, and the legendary Horse Step, a quirky feature that never fails to impress. The highlight is the final gendarme—a spectacular grade-5 chimney that will put you to the test—all while enjoying sweeping views over the reservoir below. At the summit a 25-metre free-hanging abseil awaits, followed by a quick, pleasant descent through a bucolic forest. Difficulty: Introductory (moves up to grade 5). Best in autumn/winter.
