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.

Climb to Coll de Pradell from the C-16 turnoff near Guardiola de Berguedà. The first section runs along the B-400 highway and is very flat. It is by far the busiest section, especially on holidays, weekends, or vacation periods. The road has no shoulder and the asphalt is in perfect condition. The second section begins when you take the detour to the left onto the B-401 highway toward the village of Vallcebre. The road widens and the shoulder appears. This section has an initial uphill section and a subsequent descent to Vallcebre. The third section is very tough and begins in the village of Vallcebre itself. It consists of approximately 3 km of very steep and constant gradients above 12% until you reach a rest stop. The fourth section is literally a savagery. Take the road to the left and face the first winding section above 10%. After a brief rest, the famous concrete ramp at 23% appears. You have to hang on tight. From here to the top, it's 2 km where you only see the road. If you stop to take a break, you'll see the mining train and the beautiful views of the valley behind you.

Very pleasant port of passage between Berga and Sant Llorenç de Morunys, with a very characteristic tunnel at the top. The two slopes are constant and accessible, with a lot of curves and along a very well paved and signposted mountain road. You can also reach the Mine through the port of Malpás de Capolat. It is a narrow road, with good asphalt, very quiet, a continuous up and down, although from the Mine it goes up more than down.

Ideal port on its southern slope for those who like climbs with high percentages. Mostly concreted road with a spectacular layout as it is excavated in the rock.

Spectacular climb to one of the most demanding peaks in Catalonia. Long climb, with sustained percentages and reaching almost 2000 meters. It is characterized by long straights and a very twisty and spectacular final stretch. Road in perfect condition.

Brutal side road, with steep ramps at first!

The climb itself is very steep, and on concrete surface. But the rolling hills to Capolat afterwards are surrounded by very beautiful Catalan country side.

The gravel connection to the northern side has improved a lot. It's still very rough gravel. But rideable the whole way down on a road bike.

Easy and difficult sections

It is possible to continue through the gravel path, if you want to connect with the northern road to make loop, instead of just going back down. It's rough gravel/stones, so you may have to pull the bike for a bit and/or ride on the grass next to the cows. But after a bit of descenting in this mess, you are connected back on the northern side to an area with beautiful landscape.

I've been running there and I love going through this area

The hardest, most beautiful climb you probably never heard of unless you're a local. Perfect smooth tarmac, hardly any traffic, great views. A real test of the legs from the beginning!
