Puig de Dòrria

Puig de Dòrria is a mountain summit in the Eastern Pyrenees reaching 2,547 meters with alpine landscapes and diverse plant life across its slopes. Marked paths connect neighboring valleys, and the peak features a geodesic marker at its highest point.

The mountain served as a natural boundary between the regions of Ripollès and Cerdanya since medieval times. This geographic role made it an important territorial marker throughout the area's history.

Traditional stone huts built by local shepherds dot the slopes, still maintained today as shelters for people crossing between valleys. These simple structures show how communities have adapted to mountain life across generations.

The trail starts from Planoles village and follows a marked path through black pine forests to the summit. Bring weather-appropriate gear and sturdy footwear, as conditions can change quickly at higher elevations.

From December to March, the summit builds up substantial snow cover and forms a natural barrier between Mediterranean and continental climates. This seasonal transformation makes the peak a place where two distinct climate zones meet.
