There are four slopes to climb Turó de l'Home. They all share the last 6 km, once you take the detour that takes you to the highest point of the Montseny massif.
The slope marked in this section is the toughest (the one that starts in Sant Celoni and passes through Mosqueroles), with almost 25 km and 1,400 m of elevation gain. It is a very challenging pass that rivals the great Alpine passes.
The second slope begins at a bridge over the Tordera River, past the villages of Santa Maria de Palautordera and Sant Esteve de Palautordera. This second slope joins the first in the village of Costa del Montseny, from where it is almost 15 km to the summit of Turó de l'Home.
The third slope starts in Sant Celoni (like the first) and passes through the village of Campins. At Santa Fe del Montseny, take a detour to the left to Coll de Santa Helena, from where there is only a 1 km descent to the final detour to Turó de l'Home.
The fourth slope starts in the province of Girona, specifically from Viladrau, crossing Coll de Gomarra, Coll de Bordiol, Sant Marçal, Santa Fe del Montseny, Coll de Santa Helena, and Turó de l'Home. This is undoubtedly the easiest slope, although its initial section has 2 km of 10% gradients. It is a completely different slope from the previous ones.
