The route
Very demanding route without rest and very changing, with a short break that marks the difference between the wooded area and the most alpine to the top. In winter we can find snow on the top, and some icy areas. The whole route passes through the shade of Montgrony, very shady. Remember you are in a grazing area. During the tour you may find yarn for livestock. For a good coexistence with farmers and all those who live in nature, remember to close the yarns in your path.
We will start the route in the meadow next to the Rigart, where we will find the signs for the OTR App. The first meters, through meadows, will already mark what will be the tone of the route, a constant climb with a slope that will force us to make a full effort. We will leave the meadow and enter the forest along a well-paved path, going up parallel to the Torrent del Cogulló. With a small section where the slope gives us a short break, and always into the Bosc del Cogulló, we will flank the hill of the same name on the left before reaching the only flat section of the route, about 300m that will take us to Coll Roig, an area of meadows where the forest opens up and lets us see what lies ahead, and the entrance to the final grassy canal, constant and steep where we will be tempted to help hands at some point. The canal ends at the Coll de Maians, already at an altitude of 2000m, where we will turn left to reach the final ridge, where we will make the last 50m positive gradient, seeing at all times the characteristic small cross of the Cim de Costa Pubilla.
At the top the reward is extraordinary, with 360º views, from the Puigmal and the Eastern Pyrenees, to the Serra Cavallera, or the Serra de Montserrat and the Plana de Vic on the horizon.
We will make the descent by undoing the ascent path, with caution in the grassy canal, especially if it is wet.
