ニエールの峠・トップ20

美しい登り、あまり魅力的ではない目的地 – 道こそが目的地

フランスとの国境にあるリポイェスのピレネー山脈主稜線に位置するこのスキーリゾートは、舗装道路で自転車でアクセスできる最も高い峠の1つでもあります。このスキーリゾートは、最近では2019年にボルタ・ア・カタルーニャのゴール地点として複数回使用されています。

The Col de Jou from Villefranche de Conflent is a climb in the French Pyrenees. This climb is 11.4 kilometers long and has a positive elevation gain of 687 meters. The Col de Jou from Villefranche de Conflent has an average gradient of 6%.

Ridden in Gravel, well loaded: it's fine, but you don't have to be in a hurry! From the Conques refuge, no walls that are too steep, but lots and lots of stones. You can hear (and maybe see?) the marmots. The breathtaking views along the way will not make you regret a single drop of sweat! However, be careful of cows which can block the path, especially if they have young ones.

The Col de Jou peaks at an altitude of 1,125 meters. It is a well-known rallying point for local hikers. Indeed, the GR 10 passes through there, and it is the starting point for many hikes including the one that connects Canigou peak.

It is a mandatory port for anyone who wants to visit Upper Cerdanya by bicycle. On the southern slope it is very affordable; However, the charm of this port is on the northern slope, the one that goes up from Olette. It has all the incentives for good cycle tourism.

Passage point for different peaks and routes. Alert with fog. I recommend firm footwear.
