You set off from Andorra la Vella with a lot of traffic, which becomes less and less important as you pass through the various towns on the route. After El Serrat, you have the most difficult gradients, but nothing insurmountable. The road is good, the scenery beautiful and the final stretch is free of traffic, with only a few service vehicles allowed access. The peaks around you are very beautiful, and there's plenty of choice for refreshments on arrival. A great way to discover Andorra!... read more

Parti depuis Andorre-la-Vieille avec beaucoup de trafic, celui-ci devient de moins en moins important à mesure que vous traversez les différentes communes sur la route. Après El Serrat, vous avez les pourcentages les plus difficiles, mais rien d'insurmontable. La route est bonne, les paysages très beaux et le final se fait sans circulation, seuls quelques véhicules de service peuvent y accéder. Les sommets autour de vous sont très beaux, vous avez du choix pour vous restaurer à l'arrivée. À faire pour découvrir l'Andorre !

this climb is so-so (gradient is fine). wide highway roads. medium traffic on a Thursday morning (people going up to use the gondola and for walks), even after the car barrier 4k from the top there are maintenance cars, utes and trucks coming up. the top is a huge ski resort, chairlifts going, huge car parking. i didnt find it attractive. port de cabus, Gallina is a lot nicer.

It's a must do, particularly if you don't have the legs for Gallina (I don't). Long but nothing too steep, Sweeping descent and a good surface all the way.

This is the way out to Andorra. It is magnificent. The last part of the climb is cut off from traffic. I met several professionals. In particular ineos. It's really beautiful.

C’est la sortie à faire sur Andorre. C’est magnifique. La dernière partie de la montée est coupée de la circulation. J’ai croisé plusieurs professionnels. Notamment ineos. C’est vraiment très beau.

Nice climb which they like to use in the big tours, if they are in the neighbourhood.
Not super heavy, but relatively quiet.
Former cyclist Tom Dumoulin once won here in impressive fashion in an almost apocalyptic rain shower.

Mooie klim die ze er in de grote rondes graag bij nemen, als ze er in de buurt zijn.
Niet superzwaar, maar wel relatief rustig.
Oud-wielrenner Tom Dumoulin won hier ooit op indrukwekkende wijze in een bijna apocalyptische regenbui.
