オソナの峠・トップ9

it stings on gravel

Good asphalt road in perfect condition

Place with a lot of envelope that is blessed with high temperatures

Parking is difficult in the area after 10:00. The area is beautiful and has great views. You can take a practically flat route (Collformic to the ruins of El Café, but it's not circular), a more challenging one like Matagalls. And many more!

Beautiful, even, climb. Definitely a great option from Montseny back towards Viladrau

It is a nice climb because of the tradition of the port, because of the views there are, I recommend that if you go down, be careful because of the sharp curves and the narrow road.

Together with the Collada de Collfred they are the great ports in the area in terms of hardness. The port of Bracons has 2 completely different aspects. The best is the eastern slope, but I recommend facing both at some point in your life. - The eastern slope, which starts from the Vall d'en Bas, is 8 km long, the last 7 km at an average of 9%. The final kms are the hardest and most constant at 10%. The panoramic views of the Vall d'en Bas are continuous. It's a door! - The west slope, which starts from Torelló, is very irregular with the first 14km with a continuous up and down, where you gain height little by little. From this point, starting from Sant Andreu de la Volta, the slope rises radically, leaving 5km ahead on average at 7%, with a full km at 10%. I leave you the link with the altimetry of the port by @cyclingcols --> http://www.cyclingcols.com/col/Bracons

The last 5 km of the southern slope of the Collformic port has beautiful panoramic views of the Montseny mountain range. In addition, you can see how the road meanders following the mountain until reaching the hill, which also makes it psychologically harder for the cyclist.
