Het zwaarste van deze klim ligt tussen km 1 en km 4. Daar overwin je meer dan 300 hoogtemeters (dus meer dan 10% gemiddeld). Gezien deze klim vrij onregelmatig is, heb je verschillende stukken van 15, 16 tot zelfs 18%. Na km 4 is het zwaarste achter de rug, doch het blijft stevig omhoog lopen. De Vuelta komt hier langs in 2026.
For me it is my favorite pass, from Encamp you go up to Vila and from there you climb it all the way up, the beginning is very steep but it is a very beautiful pass.
Para mí es mi puerto favorito, desde Encamp subes a Vila y de ahí lo subes enterito el principio pica pero es un puerto muy bonito
This is a tough climb. Be ready for steep. Very quiet though. Nice descent on the other side. Worth riding if you're in the area. Combine it with Coll d Ordino for a nice loop.
Key takeaway is do not look to descend back in to Encamp as it is super steep with negative camber on the many hairpins. For a loop descend into Canillo from Ordino if you can as its more sweeping with higher average safe speed.
As a climb the lower section is a challenge but the road is very light on traffic, and the descent into la Massana is pleasant.
Let's face it, the scenery is not extraordinary but it's a pass often used by the grand tours so it's for enthusiasts. If you don't pass the ％ of 16-17-18 don't come here. The 1.5 km between 10 and 12 ％ is deadly. I did it after the ordino pass through Ordino and I am by far not a champion. So it is accessible as long as you get past the severe ％.
Qu’on se le dise, le paysage n’est pas extraordinaire mais c’est un col souvent emprunté par les grands tours donc pour les passionnés. Si vous ne passez pas les ％ de 16-17-18 ne venez pas ici. Le 1,5 km entre 10 et 12 ％ est mortel. Je l’ai fait après le col d’ordino par Ordino et je ne suis de loin pas un champion. Il est donc accessible pour autant que vous passez les ％ sévères.
