サルデスの峠・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.

It's a very beautiful and challenging mountain pass in the Catalan Pre-Pyrenees, in the Berguedà region. The road enters a very unspoiled area, reaching the villages of Malanyeu and La Nou del Berguedà. The road is narrow but in perfect condition; it's a pleasure to ride here. The Volta a Catalunya included it in its 2024 route, the edition won by Pogaçar, on the stage that finished at the Sanctuary of Queralt. It was on this mountain pass, on its northern slope, that Pogaçar launched a violent attack to go solo and ride the final 30 km and take the stage victory.

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.

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.
