It comprises two lanes, separated by a 2-meter-wide (6.6 ft) safety zone in the middle. The southern entrance, at an altitude of 1,175 m (3,855 ft), is located in the settlement of l'Hospitalet, part of the municipality of Guardiola de Berguedà. The northern entrance is in Cerdanya, in the municipality of Urús, and is at a height of 1,236 m (4,055 ft).

Name

The Serra de Moixeró is often confused with the nearby Serra del Cadí range, hence the tunnel's naming after the latter. Both ranges are within the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park, which also includes nearby Pedraforca.
