The Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) differs from other pines due to the orange colour of its young branches. Its unmistakable bloom appears in May and June: the pine cone. It has small cones compared to other pines, and its leaves are the smallest of all pine leaves. Scots pines can be found in mountainous areas, at altitudes above 1,000 metres, and you can identify them immediately by looking at their conical crown. Scots pine forests do not withstand large fires very well due to their limited capacity for regeneration, and they are also very sensitive to drought. Their wood is very valuable; for example, it was used for beams in buildings in the twentieth century.

Near the river there are also meadows and calcareous soil, where herbaceous plants such as the dandelion (Alchemilla flabellata), medium plantain (Plantago media), lady’s bedstraw (Galium verum) and dwarf thistle (Cirsium acaule) grow. Cows, sheep and horses graze in these meadows. Livestock numbers have declined in recent decades, and this has led to a gradual increase in the flora that grows in the meadows. However, the meadows are part of the Ripollès landscape, and as visitors it is important to respect agricultural and livestock areas.

The downy oak is the second most common tree in the municipality of Campdevànol, after the Scots pine. It is a tree with a very broad and irregular crown, and grows up to heights of 20 metres. They often have a twisted trunk and are grey in colour. The oak’s leaves have curling edges, and its fruit is its characteristic acorns, which provide food for mice and wild boars.
