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.

A village located above the Cercs Valley, with beautiful views of the La Baells reservoir. Near the village are the beautiful and well-known Cercs mines, which can be visited by adults and children, with interesting explanations and sites.

The Collada de Sant isidre is located on the road that connects Malanyeu to Nou de Berguedà.

La Nou de Berguedà is a small town where getting there by bike is quite a challenge, whatever the slope, and in the town itself, you will find ramps higher than 10%, but well rewarded with spectacular views.

Small village of Malanyeu, crossing point to follow the road to Nou de Berguedà, coming from the C16 or ei del Llobregat.

La Nou de Berguedà is a small town that can be reached from the C26 road through a rural road with a very rough first few km, or from the Llobregat C16 axis.

Ascent towards Plans de Marginet and Nou de Berguedà, with a very hard initial section with slopes greater than 10% on a cemented asphalt and very narrow track. Quite a challenge!

This is the southern slope of this port, which starts from the La Baells reservoir. It is a port with a couple of very hard kms. Rough and very narrow road. Once these 2 km are exceeded, it softens quite a bit and you enter a very quiet pasture area with long straights.
