This is a relatively easy ascent, where the most demanding ramps (10-11％) are to be found in the first hairpins just after leaving Bielsa and on reaching Javierre. On leaving the latter, the ascent will hardly have any steep slopes.
As we head towards the bottom of the valley, bordering the reservoir and the Cinca river, the views become more and more amazing: the Cinca waterfalls, the Monte Perdido massif and the Pineta Balcony rise majestically and ever closer before us as we pedal on.
The road has recently been patched up and although some potholes have been eliminated, it is somewhat uncomfortable to ride on as the road surface is not even and there are numerous bumps. It is also possible to find some loose gravel in some areas near the paint line.
It is usually a quiet road, but in summer and at weekends it is possible to find more traffic than usual. Fortunately, there is plenty of room for vehicles to overtake and you will rarely find two vehicles in front of each other.
It is advisable to do the climb to Espierba to make the route a little tougher.
Se trata de un ascenso relativamente sencillo, donde las rampas más exigentes (10-11％) las encontraremos en las primeras horquillas nada más salir de Bielsa y al llegar a Javierre. Al dejar este último, el ascenso a penas tendrá cuestas empinadas.
Conforme avanzamos hacia el fondo del valle, bordeando el embalse y el río Cinca, las vistas se harán cada vez más asombrosas: Las Cascadas del Cinca, el Macizo de Monte Perdido y el Balcón de Pineta se erigen majestuosos y cada vez más cercanos ante nosotros mientras vamos pedaleando.
La carretera ha sido parcheada recientemente y aunque se han eliminado algunos baches, es algo incómoda de recorrer ya que el firme no está igualado y hay numerosos bultos. También es posible encontrar algo de gravilla suelta en algunas zonas cerca de la línea de pintura.
Suele ser una carretera tranquila, pero en época de verano y fines de semana es posible encontrar más tráfico de lo habitual. Por suerte los vehículos tienen bastante sitio para adelantar y rara vez se encontrarán dos vehículos de frente.
Recomendable realizar la subida a Espierba para endurecer algo más la ruta.
