The Coll de Santa Helena offers a steady climb through forests and meadows, with views gradually opening up toward the Pyrenees. It's an ideal climb to enjoy the silence of the mountains and the pleasure of pedaling away from traffic.

It is one of the most beautiful passes in Montseny, especially its final section, a mix of beech forests and open areas with beautiful views of the plain and the coastal mountain range.
It can be reached by three routes. They are as follows:
- Starting from Sant Esteve de Palautordera, take the BV-5301 to the Can Nena restaurant, shortly before reaching the village of Montsey, where there is a detour that takes you to the Montseny Coast, and from there to Coll de Santa Helena via the BV-5119 road. The climb to the Montseny Coast is tough, then eases with some significant slopes, and the final section, once you enter the beech forest, is tough and spectacular. Afterwards, take the detour that takes you to Turó de l'Home and pass a section of slides until you reach the pass.
- Starting from Sant Celoni along the BV-5114 road, and taking the detour to Mosqueroles on the BV-5119 road, largely coinciding with the previous route.
- Starting from Santa Celoni along the BV-5114 road, passing Campins and almost reaching Santa Fe de Montseny, taking a detour to the left and reaching the mountain pass. This section of this route is also spectacular, with 3 tough kilometers through beech forest.
