빌라다‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪9‬개의 산길

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.

The Collada de Sant isidre is located on the road that connects Malanyeu to Nou de Berguedà.

Ascent towards Plans de Marginet and Nou de Berguedà, with a very hard initial section with slopes greater than 10% on a cemented asphalt and very narrow track. Quite a challenge!

The Collada Sobirana is a classic of the Berguedà, whether from Guardiola de Berguedà or from the Pobla de Lillet, it is a pleasant and tough port at the same time. The first is longer and harder, with more exposure to wind and sun. The second is shorter and draws its curves in a very leafy forest that can protect you on very hot days.

The Collada de Falgars is the opposite of the Collada de Subirana, going up from the Pobla de Lillet. It is a local road with good pans and often cattle on the tarmac. At the top of the Coll there is a Sanctuary, good views and also a bar where you can get refreshments.

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.

This is the southern slope of this port, which starts from the La Baells reservoir. It is a port with a couple of very hard kms. Rough and very narrow road. Once these 2 km are exceeded, it softens quite a bit and you enter a very quiet pasture area with long straights.

The Collada de Falgars from La Pobla de Lillet shares a route for the most part with the Collada Sobirana. The climb branches into 2 in its final part. If we take the road that goes to the left, we will reach the Collada de Falgars, where there is a church to visit and a very nice bar where you can take a break. The other side of the Collada de Falgars is not cycleable with a road bike, although it can be cycled with a gravel bike.
