Odèn

Odèn is a municipality in the north of Solsonès, in the first foothills of the Pyrenees, typically rural and mountainous, close to large cities, with a population of 252 inhabitants, 1,280 head of livestock and an average altitude of about 1,100 meters.

The scattered farmhouses, the vast expanses of forest, the rugged high mountain landscapes, the rivers, the crystal-clear springs, and the cultivated fields create an authentic and wild landscape. Here, time seems to move at a different pace.

Relax and spend a few days in one of the inns, rural tourism houses or at the campsite to disconnect and enjoy the activities that Odèn offers: eat well, unwind without haste and wake up to the silence and tranquility of the mountain.

Gastronomy is another of the town's great attractions. You'll find locally sourced products such as potatoes, Cambrils salt, a wide variety of mushrooms, game meat, grilled meats from the Solsonès region, honey, mountain apples, and black peas grown in the town itself and available at the Ca l'Àngel shop.

Nature, wellness and outdoor activities

In Odèn you'll find 10 marked trails for all levels, leading you through unique natural and geological landscapes such as the Canalda rock, the Cambrils hill, and the spectacular formations of Móra Comdal. Both adults and children can stroll through forests and observe chamois, squirrels, and birds in their natural habitat.

One of the main attractions is swimming in the salt flats of Salino de Cambrils, where you can discover the medicinal benefits of saltwater and experience the unique sensation of floating, much like in the Dead Sea. In addition, guided activities such as birdwatching, climbing, paragliding, canoeing, and much more are also available.

A short distance away you will also find the ski resorts of Port del Comte and Tuixent, ideal for both skiing and enjoying the snow by sledding or family activities.

If you wish, you can also find someone to accompany you and explain guided activities at the Cambrils Nature Center and Saltworks, mountain guides, a bird observatory, the Pyrenees Zoo wildlife reserve, climbing routes and also, very close by, the ski resorts of Port del Comte and Tuixen, trees, paragliding over the landscapes, stargazing or canoe excursions.

Festivals and traditions

Immerse yourself in the heartbeat of the town by participating in the main festivals, concerts, and events such as the Salt and Triumph Market, which marks the end of the harvest season and welcomes winter, or the Shepherd Dog Competition in summer. These are moments of community and collective pride that allow you to experience the essence of the town.

Come to the closest and wildest Pyrenees! You'll leave amazed and wanting to return.
