Climb is now partly been resurfaced, also enjoy the view from the top of the helipad. Along the way up there are plenty of water springs to collect cold water... read more

Nice climb to do if you want to ride up a higher col. Still the highest climb near the coastal towns. In the beginning some traffic where cars's and motorbikes drive way too fast. From the roundabout after a few km it became very quiet. Climb is not very tough. Last part is, but road surface is very bad. A shame because that part is quite tough.
Descended to Masvidal myself and then cycled up again.

Nice and long climb, mostly through beautiful, wooded landscape. There is some traffic, but not too bad. There were not many cyclists, more mountain bikers. The road surface is good for most of the climb, but the last part is very bad and not great with the racing bike, but doable. The climb I did via Campins and the descent via La Costa de Montseny, not far into the descent you find a source to refuel, be careful in the descent, the asphalt rises in many places by tree roots. All in all, a climb that is worthwhile.

Long climb, which is less equal than it seems above. Flatter parts are alternated with steeper ones. The last 5 km to the top you have to go up and also back down. Quality of road is so bad that after one km I stopped and turned around. Not recommended. 20 km before are beautiful with little traffic.

Superb climb. The approach is a wide road and rises fairly evenly. Higher up the road narrows and you ride through a beautiful forest. When you turn left to the top, it gets tough. But the view is beautiful. Tip for those who still have energy. Descend and keep left to Viladrau and Seva. There you turn left to Coll Formic and back to San Celoni. Take lots of water with you.
