ポルタのおすすめツーリングルート

The only positive thing about this pass is its relatively moderate gradient. The traffic (until the road to Andorra turns off) is horrific. Hordes of motorcyclists, trucks, cars... If you can, you should avoid this pass.

The view is magnificent. However, in the summer, the road is filled with cars coming to buy tax-free products. A shame.

Although limited to 70 km/h, the tunnel is not passable by bicycle. There's even an electronic toll system.

unreal views, bliss roads, cute towns, big hill

It is a relatively small lake, but its mountainous surroundings and altitude give it a special charm. The lake is fed by melted snow and springs from the surrounding mountains, providing it with crystal-clear, cold water all year round.

During World War II, the Pyrenees were an escape route for those fleeing the Nazi occupation of France. The Estany de les Abelletes and its surroundings served as a temporary refuge for fugitives crossing the mountains towards Andorra, a neutral country during the conflict.

Magnificent pass, breathtaking views but be careful it can be very cold at the top, even if you are warm in the middle.

Very nice gravel paths leading to the high altitude meltwater pond at 2260 meters above sea level; It is worth seeing the Estany de les Abelletes, on the border between Andorra and France.
