Not too difficult climb with some flatter parts. The real climb starts at Prat de Mollo, before that it is climbing along the stream. It gets quieter and the road then goes largely through the woods. The last part can be windy because you dive directly into the plain.... read more

Did the climb on the way to Valter 2000.
Little traffic (I find of all the climbs in the Pyrenees, except the legendary names) and after 13km stunning views towards the Spanish border and beyond.
Not a killer but the length makes it a nice job.
At the back there is a nice descent to Camprodon to start Valter 2000.
