ゲルの峠・トップ18

The only positive thing about this pass is its relatively moderate gradient. The traffic (until the road to Andorra turns off) is horrific. Hordes of motorcyclists, trucks, cars... If you can, you should avoid this pass.

Although limited to 70 km/h, the tunnel is not passable by bicycle. There's even an electronic toll system.

unreal views, bliss roads, cute towns, big hill

Magnificent pass, breathtaking views but be careful it can be very cold at the top, even if you are warm in the middle.

The port of Envalira is characterized by being one of Andorra's best-known connections with France and Spain. Beautiful views it leaves us!

This section of road is part of the climb that can be made to Lles from Prullans. The road is very quiet and narrow, and in some sections the asphalt is in poor condition, but it is cyclable. I usually use it as a descent from Lles to Prullans to avoid a stretch of national road from Martinet to Prullans.

On the edge of the border between Andorra and France rises the Portella Blanca, a majestic mountain pass at an altitude of 2,514 metres. Surrounded by the proud peaks of Negre d'Envalira and Tosseta de l'Esquella, it offers hikers a panorama that is hard to beat in its grandeur. From up here, the mighty peaks and bare slopes look like a painting that shows the pure power and untouched nature. The silence up here is almost tangible, broken only by the gentle whisper of the wind and the distant murmur of hidden mountain streams. The sunlight breaks off the rock structures and lets the scenery shine in a constant play of light and shadow. With every breath, the air tastes a little clearer, a little colder. It is as if the mountains are sharing their secrets with you as you look out over the boundless expanses and let yourself be enchanted by the magic of this place. A place where heaven and earth seem to touch and you feel a little closer to the infinite horizon.

@Benoit @Jakob. I am afraid you cannot take your bike through the tunnel.
