Summer 2025 - no water in this fountain

Regular asphalt if it's downhill Bones vistas

This is an old road leading up to the Puigmal ski resort from the village of Err. For many years, this road was abandoned until it was resurfaced in 2023. The result is a narrow, perfectly maintained road that takes us from Err to the Cotzé area, where the first remotes of the old ski resort are located, and where it connects with the main climb from St. Leocadie. This section is approximately 5 km at 8.5% uneven terrain, combining steep slopes with rest areas. It traces three beautiful hairpin bends, one of which offers wonderful panoramic views of the French Cerdanya.

Second port of the 4cims. Long but very laid out. It is worth enjoying its views without putting down the big plate at many times. :)

It is a beautiful chapel next to the town of Bolvir, which in turn is next to one of the best hotels in Spanish Cerdanya. This chapel marks the beginning of one of the 2 variants (the hardest, along a narrow but in perfect condition road) to reach Guils, and later to the Guils - Fontanera cross-country ski resort.

Mountain pass where the last 7km are closed to traffic, the feeling of pedaling through there with such silence and calm is that of almost hiking at high altitudes. The paved summit is 2204m.

Together with Puigcerdà (capital of the Cerdanya region), Alp and Martinet de Cerdaña, it is one of the 4 large towns in the Cerdaña region. It is an urban center with all kinds of services and shops and very pleasant to walk quietly (although steep in its historic center). In my opinion, it is a good place to set up a base camp for routes through Cerdanya and the Catalan Pre-Pyrenees; I do not recommend it as a base camp if you want to go to France or even Andorra since there would be better alternatives for it.

From Éller you can go to Meranges on an unpaved road that is usually well trodden, passable by road bike if you have a suitable wheel width. You have to be careful, but it can be cycled with a road bike if you want to.
