Beautiful climb in beautiful scenery where you have constant views over the valley and you can always see where the climb is heading. It is a connecting road with quite a lot of traffic though, tarmac is in good shape. You can maintain an even pace as the climb has a constant gradient.

Prachtige klim in een mooi landschap waar je constant uitzicht hebt over de vallei en je kan altijd zien waar de klim naartoe loopt. Het is wel een verbindingsweg met vrij veel verkeer, asfalt ligt er goed bij. Je kan een egaal tempo aanhouden want de klim heeft een constant stijgingspercentage.

Very nice climb on good tarmac and a road that is not too busy. The climb never gets really steep so you can get into your rhythm. Views of the surroundings are beautiful. If you are going to cycle in the area I would definitely include this in your route.

A little tip, if you want to do the puerto de Tibi don't do it from the south (el Portell de la Moletta) unless you have a gravel bike or like adventure, the tarmac on that road is really dramatically bad. Otherwise, a beautiful climb. This climb is not yet listed on this website.

Hele mooie klim op goed asfalt en een weg die niet al te druk is. De klim wordt nergens echt steil en je kan er dus prima in je ritme komen. Uitzichten op de omgeving zijn prachtig. Mocht je in de buurt gaan fietsen zou ik deze absoluut in je route opnemen.

Nog een kleine tip, als je de puerto de Tibi wil doen doe dat dan niet vanuit het zuiden (el Portell de la Moletta) tenzij je een gravelbike hebt of van avontuur houdt, het asfalt op die weg is echt dramatisch slecht. Verder wel een prachtige klim. Deze klim is echter nog niet op deze website opgenomen.
