セットケースの峠・トップ20

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

Access to the site is restricted in summer by vehicle, and a reserved spot is required for €5. Overnight parking is not permitted.

Ridden in Gravel, well loaded: it's fine, but you don't have to be in a hurry! From the Conques refuge, no walls that are too steep, but lots and lots of stones. You can hear (and maybe see?) the marmots. The breathtaking views along the way will not make you regret a single drop of sweat! However, be careful of cows which can block the path, especially if they have young ones.

You get here with pains and work, I got off the bike a few meters earlier, there are parts with a very steep slope and just before the pass today I found snow. From the pass you have many routes, but none to be able to do on top of the bike. At the bottom of the valley, on the opposite side if you go up Fontlletera, you can see the refuge of Coma de Vaca, on the left the ascent to Balandrau and on the left in the background the peak of Bastiments and next to the path the house with antenna and the Gr cap in Vallter

The parking area in Fontalba, with a fee during the summer, is the optimal starting point for those who wish to start conquering 3000 meter peaks, starting with Puigmal. This route is not only accessible and direct, but also provides stunning scenery, making it the ideal choice for aspiring mountaineers.

The Coll d'Ares is a mountain pass in the Pyrenees that joins the counties of Ripollès and Vallespir, between the municipal terms of Molló and the communal areas of Prats de Molló and la Presta. If we are lucky the views are spectacular. In my case I went up with a Gravel Bike along the road from Camprodon.

One of the most beautiful ports I've done by bike, in my case twice with the Gravel bike doing the Pirinexus route from Girona. Asphalted port with little traffic, like most ports in the Pyrenees the prize is spectacular views. I did the port already coming from Girona and it was hard. The descent towards Prats de Molló is spectacular.

The Col d'Arès is a road pass of approximately 17 kilometers. It marks the border between France and Spain at 1513 meters above sea level.
