Puig Sesolles, Mountain summit in Fogars de Montclús, Spain
Puig Sesolles is a mountain summit in Catalonia with steep sides and exposed rock faces. Mediterranean scrub and hardy plants cover the slopes, with bare stone visible across much of the upper terrain.
The sources record no medieval or later history for Puig Sesolles; the only documented facts are its altitude of 1,667 metres and its position within the municipality of Fogars de Montclús, in the Vallès Oriental comarca. Its history is therefore administrative: it belongs to that municipality and to the Montseny massif area of Catalonia.
The name Sesolles is a Catalan place name recorded in the Fogars de Montclús municipal toponymy, and the summit lies within the Montseny massif, declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1978. Walkers on the upper slopes can look for the low dry-stone walls and terraced margins that mark former pasture and charcoal-making grounds.
Several marked paths reach the summit from different starting points in the area. The eastern route offers a more gradual climb for those less experienced with steep terrain.
At 1,667 metres, Puig Sesolles is the high point of Fogars de Montclús, in the Vallès Oriental comarca. The summit lies within the Montseny massif, and on clear days the view takes in the surrounding ranges of this part of Catalonia.
