Planoles is best known within Catalonia for its station on the R3 railway line, linking the Barcelona area with Puigcerdà and the French border. The municipality lies in the Ripollès comarca, in the valley of the Rigard River in the eastern Pyrenees. Forested hillsides rise from the settlement, while routes into the surrounding high country underline its mountain setting. Sant Vicenç de Planoles, the parish church, is a familiar landmark in the village centre. Planoles reflects a quieter rail-and-mountain side of Catalonia, well away from its Mediterranean cities.
