セレの峠・トップ20

Beautiful route and a great view

A hill with spectacular views. Several trails depart from here. It's worth taking a detour when descending from Puig Neulós to visit this spot with views on the border between the French eastern Pyrenees and the Catalan Pyrenees.

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.

A pass that is not too difficult to climb and offers a magnificent landscape when crossing the border at the summit.

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)

The Green MEPs Jordi Solé and François Alfonsi, and the Social Democrat Éric Andrieu, launched a letter to Pedro Sánchez and Emmanuel Macron, presidents of Spain and France respectively, calling for the reopening of the crossings to be discussed at the 27th Franco-Spanish summit on 19 January in Barcelona. The letter, signed by 31 MEPs, was presented at a press conference at the European Parliament in Strasbourg. Two days later, on 20 January, residents of Espolla reopened the coll for the annual Feria de l'Oli y de l'Olivera in the village. However, on 23 January the French authorities closed the crossing again.

It is located at an altitude of approximately 936 metres in the Albera mountain range in the Pyrénées-Orientales, France. It is accessible by road via a narrow, paved route, which climbs from Le Boulou and Laroque-des-Albères. The road offers panoramic views as it ascends through the forest.

At the Col de l'Ullat, there is also a refuge that offers basic services for hikers. Surrounded by forests and with panoramic views, it is an ideal place to enjoy nature and explore the region.
