Geography

The heights of the Serra d'En Celler range are frequently covered with snow every winter and Tossal de la Nevera, its highest peak, is named after an ice pit (nevera), where snow was gathered for local use in former times.

This mountain range is located within the Ares del Maestrat and Catí municipal terms, in a relatively uninhabited area. The easiest route to reach it is from Catí or Albocàsser. Tossal d'Orenga is a popular mountain among those who do paragliding in the region.
