In La Vanguardia's Readers' Photos we can admire the autumn sunrise in Campdevànol (Ripollès) with the Núria pot in the background, illuminated by the first morning sun and among the mists.
In Olla de Núria we can take a very complete circular route linking all the peaks, an itinerary that is very popular among hikers who love the mountain.
The route leaves the sanctuary of Núria to ascend first to Puigmal (2,913 m), from where, following clockwise, the peaks of Segre (2,843 m), Finestrelles (2,828 m), Eina (2,789 m), are then crowned. Noufonts (2,861 m), Noucreus (2,799 m), Fossa del Gegant (2,808 m), Fontnegra (2,728 m) and Àliga (2,422 m), from where you descend again to the sanctuary.
The head of the valley was historically a strategic crossing point between Old Catalonia and Northern Catalonia and currently marks the border between the Ripollès region and the French region of Alta Cerdanya.
It stands out for its natural and landscape values. So much so that in 2015 the Cabeceras del Ter and Freser Natural Park was established.
Campdevànol highlights the silhouette of the church, which dates back to the 18th century, although it was rebuilt in 1945 due to the aftermath of the civil war and the earthquake of 1944. The temple is part, together with a farmhouse and the cemetery, of an architectural complex of great quality and conservation.
Campdevànol stands out for its location under Mount Puigmal. The church bell tower, 46 meters high, is today an icon of the municipality.
