CadíMoixeró

Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park is a protected area in Catalonia, Spain, located in the eastern Pyrenees. It spans parts of the Berguedà and Cerdanya comarques and the Alt Urgell, covering roughly 41,000 hectares. The park encompasses the Cadí Massif to the south and the Moixeró Massif to the north, creating a rugged limestone-dolomite landscape with deep canyons, cliffs and high-altitude meadows. The central feature is the Cadí–Moixeró range, with the Pedraforca peak among its most recognizable landmarks.

The area hosts a diversity of habitats: beech and fir forests at mid elevations, open pastures and scree at higher elevations, and karstic caves. The park protects important flora and fauna typical of the Pyrenees, including ibex, chamois, wildcat, and a variety of raptors, such as the golden eagle; several amphibian and small mammal species are present.

Management: Cadí-Moixeró is public land protected as a natural park under Catalan law, with zones designating stricter protection versus areas for recreation. It is a popular destination for hiking, climbing and nature observation, with marked trails and scenic viewpoints. In winter, the surrounding region supports ski facilities, though within the park boundaries activities are regulated to minimize impact. The park also includes cultural landscapes with traditional villages and historical routes that reflect the region’s rural heritage.
