We rejoin the GR107 at the start of the next stage of our trek, branching off after a short while to follow a path marked with green and white. This path leads us up through mixed woodland, where beech shows signs of regeneration and chamois are on the increase. The rich variety of species here is noteworthy. Look out for tracks and trails of fox, wild boar, squirrel, wild cat, and black woodpecker, among many more.

On reaching Prat de les Estrelles (1.620 m) we continue heading south, ascending by the Vimboca stream to the coll of the same name (1.848 m). We then pick up an abandoned track formerly used by smugglers and woodcutters. The vegetation becomes less varied and we are back in a landscape of alpine meadows and Spanish pine. Following the crest we rejoin the GR150-1, heading west and ascending to Pradell (2.202 m) and the Pas dels Bous (2.253 m), both locations being excellent for enjoying magnificent views. At this point we leave behind the Moixero range and enter the Cadi. We leave too the long-distance path and, flanking the mountain and crossing alpine meadows and stone fields, we head northwest and west towards Pla de les Creus and Prat d’Aguilo (2.010 m)
