Magnificent

It is a simply spectacular port that unites the regions of Conflent and Capcir. It is one of the most beautiful ports in the easternmost Pyrenees. It is very close to the Col de la Llosa, and you can take a circular route that is known as the "Route des Cols". It is also indicated on nearby road signs. The hardest slope is the one that begins in Olette (Conflent) and goes up through Aiguatèbia. There are almost 22 km of ascent and 1,089 meters of elevation gain. It has 3 very different zones: (1) the first is a constant 5 km at 7%; (2) the second is 10 km at 4% and with some very pleasant rest areas, with beautiful views; (3) The final part is 6 km on average at 7%, since it passes the town of Railleu, although the hard part is the last 3 km, with several ramps that exceed 10%. The road is narrow and has uneven asphalt, with hardly any cars and motorcycles. For me, the final part of this port is truly spectacular and should not be missed. The west slope begins in the town of Matamala (Capcir) and is 3 km with an average of close to 8%. It is a long irregular stretch along a narrow and very quiet road, with panoramic views of the valley when the thick black pine forest gives some opportunity.

A little disappointing: the pass is in the middle of the forest and offers no view. The climb from (and to!) Railleu is nevertheless superb. A nice picnic area to have a bite to eat.

One of the best experiences on my entire tour. I have this picture with the view of the mountains as my screen background. The roads are still closed, the snow is piled up meters high on the sides and at the same time there is not a single car on the road. Simply fantastic

Beautiful refuge to rest and gain strength, the starting point of an emblematic route that visits multiple lakes and can culminate with the imposing Carlit.

The renovated refuge offers services and facilities that match the natural site in which it is located. Everything is perfect! You will find, summer and winter, 19 places in dormitories. You can also pitch your tent there (by reservation). In addition to this, you will find around the refuge, free bivouac areas. In addition to this, the refuge provides a water point, outdoor dry toilets. Note that there are no showers. A catering service is also possible at lunchtime and in the evening (only one service at a fixed time). In the evening, a single meal taken together.

At 2,016 meters, this vast lake and its dam are ideally located for a refreshing break. In addition to the gîte and a refuge, there is also a small water fountain.

The Col de Pailhères, or Port de Pailhères, is one of the emblematic passes of the Pyrenees and the Tour de France. Culminating at 2,001 meters above sea level, it is one of the few passes in the Pyrenees to exceed the symbolic bar of 2,000 meters. The climb from Mijanès is 10.6 kilometers long with an average of 8.2%, including some passages at more than 10%. It is also possible to climb from Ax-les-Thermes by means of a climb of 18.6 kilometers with an average of 6.9%.
