First, there is a short stretch of track, then a superb path that climbs steeply and passes by the Dolmen de la Cova dels Alarbs.
Then the route continues along a steep path through the rocks as you approach the Sallfort pastures.
The Visorando GPX track is essential, especially if the weather is poor (fog, clouds, snow).
Do not underestimate this short but steep hike. The elevation gain is close to 850 m.
