We leave La Pobla de Segur on a secondary road that climbs and descends gently between farmhouses and small fields until it joins the Eix Pirinenc. The route takes us through Senterada, a small village nestled between mountains, and continues northwards to the turn-off for Xerallo. From here, the slope increases significantly: a narrow, traffic-free road climbs steeply to Sentís, a stone village located at an altitude of over 1,200 metres, where the landscape is entirely mountainous.
