Great climb from Thuir. Recommend to go. It was a nice and regular climb, first passing Castelnou and then to the intersection with Coixas. Views of Castelnou, the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean are super. Some steeper parts, but the views are worth it. During the ride little cars, especially after Castelnou you have it all to your own, making it a special ascend
I make this road regularly, very beautiful landscape when one arrives at the level of castelnou. Very few or almost no cars on the road. The road is in good condition.
As far as difficulty is concerned, it is quite difficult when you start and especially during 1km when you arrive at the level of the castle of castelnou where the percentages are the strongest.
But I recommend this route and especially the loop that can be done down to Montoriol, Fourques.
Je fais cette route régulièrement, très beau paysage lorsqu'on arrive au niveau de castelnou. Très peu ou quasiment pas de voiture sur le chemin. Chemin en bonne état.
En ce qui concerne la difficulté, plutot difficile lorsqu'on commence et surtout pendant 1km lorsqu'on arrive au niveau du chateau de castelnou ou les pourcentages sont les plus fort.
Mais je recommande cette route et surtout la boucle qu'on peut faire en descendant vers Montoriol , Fourques.
