Pittige beklimming op hobbelig wegdek, in zowel beklimming als afdaling. Lichtpuntje: als je afdaalt naar Xaló (Jalón) kun je dit belonen met een bezoek aan wielercafé Velosol.

Nice climb with views to the sea and inland. Quiet climb except for the last 2 km. Quite tough and especially when hot. Good to combine with coll de Rates.

Leuke klim met vergezichten naar de zee en naar het binnenland. Rustige klim behalve de laatste 2 km. Best pittig en zeker als het warm is. Goed te combineren met coll de Rates.

The climb is very easy but the road surface is bumpy. It is worth doing, with some nice views throughout, just the road being bumpy gets quite annoying. There is not much car traffic.

Really quite a nice climb. Has everything that makes cycling fun. After descending in the village of Xalo, an incredibly nice cycling café awaits you. More than worth it.

Echt een hele fraaie klim. Heeft alles wat fietsen leuk maakt. Na afdaling in het dorpje Xalo wacht een ontzettend leuk wielrencafé op je. Meer dan de moeite waard.

Recommended because of views, beautiful scenery and almost car-free. From Xalo I like it best because the ascent is the most constant. From Benissa it is mostly 1-2%, the ascent starts from 4km before the end and you get 14-17% 3km before the end. The road surface is extremely bumpy on both sides. You can also ride it around easily.

Aanrader vanwege uitzichten, prachtige omgeving en bijna autoloosheid. Vanuit Xalo vind ik hem het fijnst omdat de stijging het meest constant is. Vanuit Benissa is hij grotendeels 1-2%, begint de stijging vanaf 4km voor het einde en krijg je 3km voor het einde 14-17% voor je kiezen. Het wegdek is extreem hobbelig aan beide kanten. Je kunt hem ook makkelijk rond rijden.

Some 13 km of climbing in total. Very nice winding climb with some power sections in the first part where you can already "sky-high" kick the heart rate in anticipation of the finale. In the last 2.5 km, with an average gradient of 9%, you will find peaks up to 17% that you can see approaching from a distance (with egg in your trousers). After the steepest stretch, you are glad that the next roadside sign only indicates "max 14%"...

In totaal een 13 tal km klimmen. Erg mooi kronkelende klim met in het eerste deel enkele power-stukjes waar je de hartslag alvast "sky-high" kan trappen in afwachting van de finale. In de laatste 2,5 km, met een gemiddelde stijging van 9%, vind je pieken tot 17% die je van op een afstand (met een ei in de broek) ziet naderen. Na het steilste stuk ben je blij dat het volgende bordje langs de weg slechts "max 14%" aangeeft...

From Pinos, Sierra de Bernia is "peanuts" compared to the climb from Altea on the northern side of the mountain. Indeed, there are also a few "walls" in the last few kilometres, but these are interspersed with recovery stretches. Doable! With quiet, beautiful roads...

Sierra de Bernia is vanuit Pinos "peanuts" in vergelijking met de klim vanuit Altea aan de noordelijke kant van de berg. Inderdaad, er zitten de laatste kilometers ook een paar "muurtjes" in, maar deze worden afgewisseld met recuperatie stukken. Te doen dus! Met rustige, mooie wegen...

Beautiful, long climb and only the last 3 kilometres are difficult. You have continuous beautiful views of Calp and its surroundings. No traffic

The first 10 kilometres are a breeze, ideal for enjoying the beautiful scenery. The devil is indeed in the tail, my Garmin indicated 17 % at one point. As I was doing the climb along this side for the first time, I have no idea what the climbing time was.

De eerste tien kilometers zijn een makkie, ideaal om te genieten van de prachtige omgeving. Het venijn zit hem inderdaad in de staart, mijn Garmin gaf op een bepaald moment 17 % aan. Aangezien ik de klim langs deze kant voor het eerst deed heb ik geen idee wat de klimtijd was.

The Port Bèrnia is a beautiful and quite long climb situated in a quiet area. The whole climb you cycle in a circle through a pine forest and you are continuously treated to beautiful views. The devil of this climb is in its tail. The last three kilometres are regularly above 10 km/h, sometimes even above 15 km/h. It's worth it, because the landscape doesn't get any uglier. The road surface is excellent and there is hardly any traffic. There is hardly any traffic, although there are many cyclists. The descent on the other side is also very good. Top climb!

De Port Bèrnia is een prachtige en vrij lange klim liggend in een rustige omgeving. De hele klim fiets je kringelend door een pijnbomenbos en wordt je continue getrakteerd op mooie vergezichten. Het venijn van deze klim zit hem in zijn staart. De laatste drie kilometer gaan regelmatig boven de 10%, soms zelfs boven de 15. Het is het waard, want het landschap wordt er echt niet lelijker op. Het wegdek van deze klim is top, verkeer is er nauwelijks. Wel veel wielrenners. De afdaling aan de andere kant is ook helemaal prima. Topklim!
