Rising to 2,506 meters (8,223 feet) in elevation, Pedraforca is one of Catalonia's most iconic and emblematic mountains and the perfect place for a hike in the Pyrenees!
Meaning "stone pitchfork" in Catalan, the uniquely shaped peak has two summits with a low-lying ridge line separating them. Situated in the southern reaches of the Parc Natural del Cadí-Moixeró, it is a challenging but popular day hiking destination.
Our adventure begins at 8:30 am, after we meet up in the nearby village of Saldes. From here, we will transfer to the trailhead and begin our 8.9-kilometer (5.5-mile) hike.
The hike begins with a gradual ascent through varied vegetation zones. As we go, I will be able to tell you a bit more about the plants and animals that live here.
As we continue to climb, the vegetation gives way to compact limestone rocks and we will continue to scramble over these until we arrive at the summit.
From the top, we will enjoy panoramic views out over the natural park and eat our lunch before descending back down and returning to the trailhead.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this fun and scenic 1-day hike in the Pyrenees to the summit of Pedraforca!
If you like the look of this trip then I think you may also enjoy my via ferrata climbing trip in Vallcebre!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
