Beautiful climb with great views. After Pal begins the toughest part of 6km. The last 3 to 4 km are doable. In mid-May there was still snow, but the road was clear. If you start from Andorra La Vella you still have to climb almost constantly and to the top it is just under 25km!
Mooie klim met een mooi uitzicht. Na Pal begint het zwaarste stuk van 6km. De laatste 3 a 4 km zijn goed te doen. Half mei lag er nog sneeuw, maar de weg was vrij. Als je van Andorra La Vella vertrekt moet je toch bijna constant klimmen en tot de top is het net geen 25km!
The climb starts gradually and quietly in busy La Massana. After the turn-off to Arinsal, the real climb begins, where signs indicate every kilometre how steep the coming kilometre is, and how far it is. After Pal with its Romanesque church, it climbs a little steeper and you climb out of the valley over wooded slopes. You pass the turnoff to winter sports area La Caubella and you now climb to the pass Coll de la Botella, passing cable cars on the way. At that pass, you can already see the terminus Port de Cabus in the distance. The climb now also becomes less steep and the road a bit smaller. You gradually climb on to the end of the paved road on the Spanish border. There is a car park here, but nothing else. A path descends towards Spain. Griffon vultures and free-roaming horses could be admired there. All in all, a beautiful climb, almost nowhere really steep with beautiful views and not much traffic after Pal.
De klim begint geleidelijk en rustig in het drukke La Massana. Na de afslag naar Arinsal begint de echte klim, waar met bordjes elke kilometer aangegeven wordt hoe steil de komende kilometer is, en hoe ver het nog is. Na Pal met zijn Romaanse kerk klimt het wat steiler en klim je uit het dal over beboste hellingen. Je komt langs de afslag naar wintersportgebied La Caubella en je klimt nu naar de pas Coll de la Botella, onderweg langs kabelbanen komend. Bij die pas zie je het eindpunt Port de Cabus al in de verte. De klim wordt nu ook minder steil en de weg wat kleiner. Je klimt geleidelijk door naar het eindpunt van de verharde weg op de Spaanse grens. Hier is een parkeerplaats, maar verder niets. Een pad daalt af richting Spanje. Vale gieren en vrij rondlopende paarden waren er te bewonderen. Al met al een prachtige klim, vrijwel nergens echt steil met prachtige vergezichten en na Pal niet veel verkeer meer.
Beautiful outing that we did as a couple. The port of Cabus is in my opinion the most beautiful pass in Andorra. The botella restaurant there hothouses superb paella!
To come back to the pass, I think that in a few years the tour will make a nice arrival there. In any case, this is what is whispered in the Andorran city
Magnifique sortie que nous avons fait en couple. Le port de cabus est selon moi le plus beau col andorrans. Le restaurant botella y sert de superbe paella!
Pour revenir au col, je pense que d’ici quelques années le tour y fera une belle arrivée. En tout les cas, c’est ce qui se murmure dans la cité andorrane
