Awesome climb with almost no cars. The weather can change really quickly. Was caught by mist and cold with 6km to go. It is a good idea to bring long sleeves for the decent! Even in summer.

One of the longest climbs in Catalonia, well worth the diversions, with Catalan snacks at the top.

Une des montée les plus longue en Catalogne qui vaut vraiment le détour avec des en-cas catalans au sommet

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.

Mooie klim om te doen als je een hogere col wil oprijden. Toch de hoogste klim in de buurt van de kustplaatsjes. In het begin wel wat verkeer waar de auto's en motors veel te hard rijden. Vanaf de rotonde na een paar km werd het heel rustig. Klim is niet heel zwaar. Laatste stuk wel, maar wegdek is wel erg slecht. Erg zonde want dat stuk is flink pittig.
Zelf afgedaald naar Masvidal en daarna nog een keer omhoog gefietst.

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.

Mooie en lange beklimming, grotendeels door prachtig, bosrijk landschap. Er is wat verkeer, maar valt mee. Er waren ook niet zoveel fietsers, eerder mountainbikers. Het grootste deel van de klim is het wegdek goed, het laatste deels is wel erg slecht en met de koersfiets niet top maar wel doenbaar. De klim heb ik via Campins gedaan en de afdaling via La Costa de Montseny, niet ver in de afdaling kom je een bron tegen om bij te tanken, wel oppassen in de afdaling, het asfalt komt op veel plaatsen omhoog door boomwortels. Al bij al een klim die de moeite waard is.

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.

Lange klim, die minder gelijkelijk is dan bovenstaand lijkt. Wat vlakkere stukken worden afgewisseld met stijle stukken. De laatste 5km tot de top moet je omhoog en ook terug naar beneden. Kwaliteit van weg is dusdanig slecht dat ik na een km ben gestopt en gekeerd. Niet aan te raden. 20 km er voor zijn prachtig met weinig verkeer.

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.

Schitterende beklimming. De aanloop is een brede weg en stijgt vrij gelijkmatig. Hogerop versmalt de weg en rij je door een prachtig bos. Wanneer je linksaf naar de top gaat, wordt het stevig. Maar het uitzicht is prachtig. Tip voor wie nog energie over heeft. Daal terug af en hou telkens links aan naar Viladrau en Seva. Daar ga je linksaf naar Coll Formic en terug San Celoni. Neem veel water mee.
