Views over France at the summit. Can be very windy on very last bit, hardly any stairs to get up...

Uitzicht over Frankrijk op de top. Kan heel hard waaien op allerlaatste stukje, nauwelijks trappen om omhoog te komen...

Nice start in France! The little town is very cosy to stay in! The roads on the Spanish side are better developed

Schöner Start in Frankreich! Das Städtchen ist zu verweilen sehr gemütlich! Die Straßen auf Spanischer Seite sind besser ausgebaut

A slightly long but regular pass. Good surface on the Spanish side of the descent. Views of the Canigou on the French side as you descend a little.

Col un peu long mais régulier. Bon revêtement en descente côté espagnol. Vu sur le canigou côté français en redescendant un peu.

Did this from Mollo. Relatively easy with beautiful views and very little traffic. Interesting and moving info point at the top about the flight of refugees after the Spanish civil war.

After I first climbed Col d'Ares from France, then Valter 2000, I completely broke down on this climb in the last 7km, while it is a wonderful runner.
I didn't enjoy it much and was glad that I reached the top.
A bit too much to do that day.

Nadat ik eerst Col d'Ares vanuit Frankrijk had beklommen, daarna Valter 2000, ben ik daarna op deze klim in de laatste 7km volledig kapot gegaan, terwijl het een heerlijke loper is.
Heb dan ook weinig genoten en was blij dat ik boven was.
Iets teveel hooi op de vork die dag.
