Climbed both sides of this Puerto on the same day in early September. First climb from Vielha. Looks easy on paper but some sections were tricky. Nice thing is that this is not an HC climb so you have plenty of sections to catch your breath. It is also nice that the first 10 km of the climb there is a wide hard shoulder where you can cycle just fine and that in Spain there is a law that cars have to overtake at least 1.5 metres away from the bike. Furthermore, the road to the top is of reasonably good quality and everything is well sealed with crash barriers. At the summit, a restaurant is open where you can get something to eat and drink.

Op dezelfde dag begin september beide kanten van deze Puerto beklommen. Eerste klim vanuit Vielha. Lijkt op papier makkelijk maar sommige stukken waren lastig. Fijn is wel dat dit geen HC klim is dus je hebt voldoende stukken om even wat bij te komen. Prettig is ook dat de eerste 10 km van de klim er een brede vluchtstrook is waar je prima kunt fietsen en dat in Spanje de wet geldt dat auto’s minimaal 1,5 meter van de fiets vandaan moeten inhalen. Verder is de weg naar de top van redelijk goede kwaliteit en is alles goed afgesloten met vangrails. Op de top is er een restaurant open waar je wat kunt eten en drinken.
