The climb to the Col du Pirs begins almost immediately after the village of Villa de Mazo. Coming from the main road, turn off in the direction of "Nambroque". You won't see Col du Pirs written anywhere here. This is what the pass is affectionately called by the locals of Palermo.
From this junction, the ascent stretches over 5.15 kilometres, climbing 395 metres in altitude, which corresponds to an average gradient of 7.7 percent. The pass ends in a shady cul-de-sac where you can take a break from the Canarian heat under the pine trees after the climb. During the ascent, you'll have a great view of the Atlantic again and again.
This climb is a real insider tip, no traffic, good tarmac and with the good gradient percentages, it is also ideal for ambitious racing cyclists for training intervals. In addition, the pass is relatively short at just under 5 kilometres compared to the otherwise long uphill sections on the island of La Palma.

Der Anstieg zum Col du Pirs beginnt ziemlich direkt nach dem Ort Villa de Mazo. Ihr biegt von der Hauptstraße kommend in Richtung "Nambroque" ab. Col du Pirs werdet ihr hier nirgendwo angeschrieben sehen. So wird der Pass von den einheimischen Palermo´s liebevoll genannt.
Von dieser Kreuzung ab erstreckt sich der Anstieg über 5,15 Kilometer und es werden dabei 395 Höhenmeter erklommen, was eine durschnittliche Steigung von 7,7 Prozent entspricht. Der Pass endet in einer schattigen Sackgasse, in welcher ihr euch unter den Kiefern, nach der Kletterei gut vor der kanarischen Hitze erholen könnt. Während der Auffahrt bietet sich einem immer wieder der tolle Blick auf den Atlantik.
Dieser Anstieg ist ein wirklicher Geheimtipp, kein Verkehr, guter Asphalt und mit den guten Steigungsprozenten bietet er sich auch für ambitionierte Rennradfahrer für Trainings-Intervalle durchaus an. Zudem ist der Pass, für die ansonsten langen Bergauf stücke der Insel La Palma, mit knapp 5 Kilometern relativ kurz.
