Coll dAres, Catalan Pyrenees

For those who appreciate quiet escapes and unspoiled nature, Coll d"Ares in the Catalan Pyrenees is a perfect place to visit. Located between Molló in Catalonia"s Ripollès region and Prats-de-Mollo-la-Preste in Occitania, this pass offers a breathtaking natural spectacle, especially in winter when its landscapes are blanketed in snow.
