One of the most beautiful climbs I've ever done. The final stretch to the Tour Madeloc is incredible, but you'll have to hang on like never before if you want to get there with standard development. At the top, a breathtaking view of a rare landscape, a mixture of vineyards and sea, fabulous.... read more

Leaving Collioure, quiet road, correct carpet. Strong wind as usual in the area. Splendid panoramas that justify the 5 stars.

Au départ de Collioure, route tranquille, tapis correct. Fort vent habituel dans le secteur. Panoramas splendides qui justifient les 5 étoiles.

A little-known climb in the area, via the tourist train route. On the other hand, avoid the downhill section as the road is of poor quality.

Montée méconnue à faire dans le coin qui passe par la route du train touristique. En revanche à éviter en descente car route de mauvaise qualité.

The first part of the climb from Collioure is very bad and steep, sections well above 10％. Going up is no fun and I advise against it for the descent.
The second stretch the road is much better and nice and quiet. I omitted the final climb given the difficult start.

Het eerste stuk van de klim vanuit Collioure is erg slecht en steil, stukken ruim boven de 10％. Naar boven is het niet leuk en ik raad het af voor de afdaling.
Het tweede stuk is de weg veel beter en lekker rustig. De slotklim heb ik maar laten zitten gezien de moeizame start.

The last kilometre was a difficult, almost impossible climb, but it was beautiful!

Une montée difficile voire quasi impossible dans le dernier kilomètre mais que c'est beau !!!

Une des plus belle montée que j'ai faite.
La finale vers la Tour Madeloc est incroyable mais il faudra vous accrocher comme jamais si vous voulez y arriver avec un développement standard.
Au sommet, une vue à couper le souffle avec un paysage rare, mélange de vignes et de mer, fabuleux.

I really cycled my lungs out on the last bit. It may not be cobblestones, but it reminded me of the Paterberg 😅.

Heb me op het laatste stukje echt de longen uit mijn lijf gefietst. Het zijn dan weliswaar geen kasseien, maar het deed me wel denken aan de Paterberg 😅.

Nice climb. It is not too long, so it is easy to do. Make sure you have some left for the last part to the castle. Here it gets really steep!!!!

Mooie klim. Hij is niet te lang dus prima te doen. Zorg dat je nog wat over heb voor het laatste stuk naar het kasteel. Hier wordt het echt zeer steil!!!!

It was a nice climb, until you get to the top. Bad tarmac, and the view was a bit disappointing. Also, the 23％ part was very steep with a 30/28 gear.

Het was een mooie klim, tot je op het punt komt om naar de top te gaan. Slecht asvalt, en het uitzicht viel wel wat tegen. Ook was het stuk van 23％ erg steil met een 30/28 verzet.

Very nice climb to the local castle from the coastal campsites there, but make no mistake. The last 300 metres to the castle go up to 24％ ! So colour that section black. You'll hardly get ahead. But it's cool when you look out over the region without your feet on the ground and the forest road leading to it is very quiet, only one car goes there and a stray hiker. Go especially early in the morning.

Hele leuke klim naar het lokale kasteeltje vanuit de kustcampings daar, maar vergis je niet. De laatste 300 meter naar het kasteel gaan tot 24％ !! Dus kleur die sectie maar lekker zwart. Je komt bijna niet vooruit. Maar wel vet als je zonder voetjes aan de grond uitkijkt over de regio en de bosweg erheen is heel rustig, een enkele auto komt daar en een verdwaalde wandelaar. Ga vooral vroeg in de ochtend.
