アメリーレバンパラルダの峠・トップ8

This pass was important as a passage between regions, especially in activities such as transhumance or the transport of goods. The snow wells that give the place its name were also key elements in the economy of the mountainous areas. The term "Pou de la Neu" refers to the snow or ice wells that were traditionally used to store snow during the winter. These structures, dug into the ground or built with stones, served to preserve ice that was later transported to the lower areas for use in food, medicine or food preservation.

Really enjoyable ride. Id agree with level 3 for fitness it was a a constant climb altho the gradient ranged from 3,6,8% ( with only less than 100m that went up to 14%. So can be riden at your own pace The Hostel at Las illas after the Col is a slight detour but good for Coffee a beer or a sandwich. Lovely flowing decent, At Maureillas i nearly headed back along the main road but glad i didn't as the last 3rd of the ride has quite a different caricature ( mostly cycle paths)

Monument in memory of Luis Company, 1st President of the Generalitat of Catalonia, arrested by Vichy troops and given to the Francoists who executed him.

Start or end of the Pyrenees tour

Taken by the pass route, it peaks at an altitude of 655 meters in the Eastern Pyrenees. Its slopes not exceeding 7% make it a gentle and accessible climb.

This hiking pass is a real hub of hiking trails that go to both France and Spain. The views there are magnificent.

A rather rolling pass with slopes around 5%, which lives up to its name since it offers long passages in the heart of the maquis.

This monument was built by the Events Committee in memory of ex-president Companys to remember his crossing into exile in January 1939. It was unveiled in 1981 in Coll de la Manrella, just on the border with France. Every year on 15th October, the date Lluís Companys was shot in Montjuïc in 1940, an homage is celebrated.
