Nice climb. The first 2 km are the steepest. Especially the first 500m sections up to 16%. In the beginning of the climb most traffic. After about 5 km virtually no traffic. From then on, increasingly beautiful views. I did this one in mid-May, and then you still have views of snow-covered mountains. At the top of La Peguera (1821 m) take a left up to La Rabassa (definitely do it). Now just under 4km of attainable gradients (5 a 6%). Wonderful views at the summit!... read more

Mooie klim. De eerste 2 km zijn de steilste. Vooral de eerste 500m stukken tot wel 16%. In het begin van de klim het meeste verkeer. Na een 5-tal km zo goed als geen verkeer meer. Vanaf dan ook steeds mooiere uitzichten. Ik heb deze gedaan half mei, en dan heb je nog zicht op besneeuwde bergen. Op de top van La Peguera (1821 m) neem je links omhoog naar La Rabassa (zeker doen). Nu nog een kleine 4km aan haalbare percentages (5 a 6%). Prachtig uitzicht op de top!

My favourite ride at the end on a few weeks in Andorra, Ridden clockwise as a loop from Sant Julia de Loria but go up to la Rabassa and then down the La Rabassa via Juberri route.
Not too steep, great views, great surface, and little traffic.
