Cap de la Gallina Pelada

Cap de la Gallina Pelada is a mountain summit in Serra d'Ensija that stands at 2321 meters, the highest point in this range. The landscape features exposed limestone rock and open grasslands that create a distinctive bare ridge appearance.

The summit is part of the ancient Pyrenees range, which has shaped the landscape between Spain and France for thousands of years. This mountain chain historically influenced regional travel routes and human settlement patterns.

Local mountaineering traditions in Serra d'Ensija include regular gatherings at Refugi Serra d'Ensija, where hikers share experiences and maintain mountain safety practices.

The summit is accessible via marked trails starting from Saldes, with the main route covering roughly 9 kilometers and gaining about 600 meters of elevation. Visitors should carry detailed maps and watch weather conditions at higher elevations, as they can change quickly.

The mountain sits about 5.7 kilometers away from Pollegó Inferior, making it feel like a standalone summit with its own character. From this isolated position, hikers enjoy expansive views of the neighboring ridges of Pedraforca and Serra del Cadí.
