ギクサーの峠・トップ20

High mountain crossing point with spectacular views over the Cadí and the Pedraforca massif. The pass marks the boundary between black pine forests and alpine meadows, and is an ideal place to catch your breath before tackling the final climb to the summit. On a mountain bike, the climb is tough and with rocky sections that may require pushing the bike at some points. Tip: slow down and save your energy for the last section; the reward is a panoramic view that will make you forget your tiredness.

From this pass, a rather technical trail leads to the village of Gósol. Getting here is quite difficult; it's a very long and arduous climb.

From this hill there is a rather technical trail to Gósol.

Coll de Josa, between Gòsol and Josa del Cadí. Inflection point on the road, you go up here and from here you go down.

Coll de Josa from Tuixent is a climb in the Spanish Pyrenees region. It has a length of 11.2 kilometers and an ascent of 517 vertical meters with an average gradient of 4.6%, the top of the ascent is located at 1630 meters above sea level.

Like the Coll de Port, this Coll de la Josa pass is another beautiful pre-Pyrenean port, where you can breathe tranquility and where you pass through a spectacular and remote high mountain landscape. Both slopes are bearable, with the west slope that begins in the pretty town of Tuixent being the longest. The slope that leaves Gòsol is very short and has intermediate slopes. The road is in perfect condition and is not particularly narrow. The Coll de Port road is narrower.

It is a beautiful high mountain pass located in the pre-Pyrenees. It is a bearable and constant pass for its 2 slopes, the Sant Llorenç de Morunys slope being somewhat harder. There is tranquility and traffic is practically non-existent. The road is narrow and the asphalt is very rough and worn, which adds harshness to the port. I recommend the alternative of reaching the cross-country ski resort of La Vansa, about 5 km above Coll de Port. If you go up from Sant Llorenç de Morunys, just under 4 km to the top, there is a road that takes you directly to the Port del Compte station... after some hard ramps. If you want a detail of the altimetry, I recommend the one that Ramacabici drew: http://www.ramacabici.com/altimetrias/lavansa01.htm

Spectacular climb to one of the most demanding peaks in Catalonia. Long climb, with sustained percentages and reaching almost 2000 meters. It is characterized by long straights and a very twisty and spectacular final stretch. Road in perfect condition.
