From the village of Vilanova de Meià follow the L-913 road up into the gorge (follow signposts for Tremp).
which offers some superb three and four pitch fully bolted adventures. The climbing ‘season’ in Vilanova de Meià runs from mid-autumn to late spring. Summers are generally rather too hot for comfort, though the easterly orientation of sector L’Anticúpula means it is shaded from early/mid-afternoon onwards and affords reasonable conditions, particularly when there’s a breeze blowing, as is often the case.
🧗♂️Parets de La Font de L’Hedra
Park in grassy lay-bys on the right-hand side of the road just before reaching a green signpost for ‘Font de L’Hedra’, about 1.3km after the village (P1). Follow the signposted path down into the streambed and cross this via a wooden footbridge then continue along a narrow, vegetated path heading rightwards for approximately 160m. Here a cairn on the left marks the start of a vague trail heading up and right to the right-hand side of the lower tier of crags (routes 1-9). Walk back left along the base of the crag to access the routes (5 minutes). For routes 10-19, continue up and rightwards to the base of the upper tier (10 minutes).
🧗♂️Paret de Les Cabres
The starting point for this sector is the picnic area at La Font de La Figuera situated just before the Km-4 signpost on the L-913 heading up the valley. Opposite the font and picnic area a dirt track turns off to the right. Drive along this for 130m to park in the second of two large clearings. On foot, continue walking along the track for approximately 350m, passing two huge concrete water storage tanks on the left and then a corrugated metal fence on the right, to reach the start of the sector, which only reveals itself at the final moment (3 minutes).
🧗♂️Contrafort de Roca dels Arcs
P3 is a large dirt lay-by situated on the right-hand side of the road between Km-5 and Km-6, approximately 900m after passing a sharp hairpin bend. From P3 continue walking up the road for 250m to a lay-by just before a small road bridge (there is actually parking for 1 or 2 cars). From here, follow a well-marked path descending into the streambed. Cross this and then continue leftwards along the base of the wall to the foot of the sector (12 minutes from P3).
🧗♂️Amatista
P4 is a series of small lay-bys on both sides of the road, close to the Km-6 marker, but for larger vehicles or just for when it’s busy, there is a more spacious parking area situated some 500m down the road back towards the village (P3). Starting 25m above the Km-6 marker follow a steep path up the hillside opposite Roca dels Arcs then scramble up slabs to the slanting rocky ramp at the base of the wall (15 minutes).
🧗♂️La Cúpula
P4 is a series of small lay-bys on both sides of the road, close to the Km-6 marker, but for larger vehicles or just for when it’s busy, there is a more spacious parking area situated some 500m down the road back towards the village (P3). Starting 10m above the Km-6 marker, follow obvious paths up and ri
