A very cool climb that first lets you enjoy beautiful vistas before taking the edge off during the final kilometres. The final kilometres are 'killing' because of gradients of almost 20％, very bad road surface and strong winds. It is tussling against these elements, but the reward is a stunning panorama. And you promise yourself that this climb is a one-off:) Highly recommended for bikers!... read more

It's steep but it's beautiful! You need to be in good shape and avoid the heat, but this pass is well worth it.

Que c'est raide mais que c'est beau ! Il faut être en forme et éviter les grosses chaleurs mais ce col vaut le coup .

Highly recommended for bikers!

Een erg gave klim die je eerst nog laat genieten van prachtige vergezichten om vervolgens tijdens de laatste kilometers het uiterste van je te vergen. De slotkilometers zijn 'killing' vanwege de stijgingspercentages van bijna 20％, zeer slecht wegdek en harde wind. Het is knokken tegen tegen deze elementen, maar de beloning is een prachtig panorama. En je belooft jezelf dat deze klim eenmalig is.:)
Een aanrader voor bikkels!

Very nice climb up to 2km before the top where the road gets a lot worse and you don't have any grip on the road because of the pebbles, not very handy considering these are the steepest parts. At 800m from the top we had to stop because it became too dangerous (also because of the gusts). Until this part, the road surface is good and you have nice views over the charming harbour town of Collioure.

Zeer toffe klim tot 2km voor de top waar de weg veel slechter wordt en je door kiezels geen grip meer hebt op de weg, niet handig gezien dit net de steilste stukken zijn. Op 800m van de top moeten stoppen omdat het te gevaarlijk werd (ook door de rukwinden er nog eens bij). Tot voor dit stuk is het wegdek wel goed en heb je mooie uitzichten over het charmant havenstadje Collioure
