An easy climb that climbs gently along a stream as you pass a few sleepy hamlets. If you want a real challenge: from the refugio, the road continues unpaved to emerge all the way up Pla de Beret. The road is passable, although I wouldn't want to try it on a road bike. But on some thicker tyres it is fine. Do expect the occasional 4x4 on the narrow road. Because you ride on the south side of the stream, the unpaved section is largely shaded.
Eventually you slowly drive out of the forest and the valley opens up with beautiful views until you emerge at the northernmost car park of Pla de Beret and you are back on tarmac.
Een makkelijke klim die rustig langs een riviertje klimt terwijl je een paar slaperige gehuchtjes passeert. Als je een echt uitdaging wilt: vanaf de refugio gaat de weg onverhard door om helemaal op Pla de Beret uit te komen. De weg is goed te berijden, hoewel ik het niet op een racefiets zou willen proberen. Maar op wat dikkere banden is het prima te doen. Verwacht wel een enkele 4x4 op de smalle weg. Omdat je aan de zuidkant van de beek rijdt, ligt het onverharde deel voor een groot deel in de schaduw.
Uiteindelijk rij je langzaam het bos uit en opent het dal zich met mooi vergezichten totdat je op de noordelijkste parkeerplaats van Pla de Beret uitkomt en je weer op het asfalt zit.
