stunning climb on a balcony road to Ayguabetai (for water) although exposed to full sun no shade and next to cliff edge (not to descend if you’re scared of height) then through shady beech forest, last few kms through an open pine forest (lovely smell). cafe at top was wonderful. fabulous descent.

Beautiful climb with the possibility of cycling a lap or combining it with Col de Creu.
Nowhere is it really steep, but the length and heat make it a tough run.
At the junction with Col de Creu it goes downhill for a while, then it's a good 14 km of pedalling.

Prachtige klim met de mogelijkheid om een rondje te fietsen of te combineren met Col de Creu.
Hij is nergens echt steil, maar de lengte en de hitte maken het toch wel een stevige loper.
Bij de splitsing met Col de Creu gaat het even bergaf, daarna is het nog 14 km lekker doortrappen.
