Tossal de la Baltasana

Tossal de la Baltasana is a mountain summit in the Prades range standing at 1,203 meters with views across the Catalonian landscape below. The peak features an orientation table and geodesic marker that help visitors understand the terrain and geographical positions of surrounding areas.

The summit has long served as a navigation point for shepherds and travelers moving through the Prades Mountains over many centuries. It became established as a fixed geographical reference for people crossing this mountain region.

The summit serves as a gathering point for local communities who have long used it as a landmark to understand their mountain landscape. Residents pass down knowledge about the peak through traditional pathways and local navigation practices that still guide people today.

Spring through autumn offers the best conditions for the hike, when trails are dry and weather is stable. Good hiking boots and water are essential, especially on warmer days or if you plan a longer walk in the area.

A telecommunications facility sits at the summit providing signal to mountain communities in the surrounding region. This modern addition shows how the peak continues to serve as a connection point, just as it has for centuries.
