Very nice col that is never difficult on the Spanish side. To be combined with the Col de la Pierre St Martin; good for a tour of 100km and 2600m vertical.

Beautiful climb ! We rode it 15 June 2022 from Ochagavia in temperatures above 30 degrees. No fast time due to this and many kodak moments. Buoy! Beginning with the necessary forest and ending in meadows. Super quiet with good road surface and nice views. No water points, although the MTB centre 4 km before the summit might be open at other times.
