Guils Fontanera

Cerdanya, Girona (Catalonia)

Guils Fontanera opened in 1992 and lies in a large mountain pine forest north of Puigcerdà. Its north-facing position gives unusually good and long-lasting snow for the Cerdanya. The trails run between 1,900 and 2,080 m with fine views over the valley. From the highest point you can continue on a tour towards the Malniu lakes.
