In summer, from here you can go down by MTB or e-bike to Soldeu. The gondola was built by Pomagalski, as the existing old chairlift did not have enough capacity. The line has a first flat part, where it passes over the Valira river, and later climbs with a steep slope until reaching a new flat section, ending with a final slope. The upper station houses the engine and cabin storage. In 2006, a new chairlift parallel to the cable car was put into service, with a greater capacity than the old one, and is preferred by skiers to go back up to Pla dels Espiolets.

It is located in the parish of Encamp. Don't even think about accessing the summit by MTB or E-bike unless you want to carry the bike most of the time. The terrain on this route includes rocky trails, narrow paths and some areas where you will probably have to push the bike due to the incline or technical nature of the terrain. In many sections, the climb is very steep.
