라 누 드 베르게다‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪17‬개의 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.

First or last larger town. Located beautifully on the hill and makes a very nice impression. I liked it here.

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

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.

Bagà, town of Berguedà, good base point to start high mountain routes.

A very small mountain village literally at the foot of the Sierra del Cadí. Although Guardiola de Berguedà is nearby and La Pobla de Lillet is a little further away, it is also an ideal place to set up base camp to enjoy the regions of Berguedà, Ripollés, and Cerdanya, and the Catalan Pre-Pyrenees. Bagá is at the foot of two major mountain passes: Coll de Pal and Coll de Bena. The former is more challenging, probably one of the five toughest in Catalonia, although both offer beautiful scenery.

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.

It is a port that has 2 completely different sides, in both cases with a narrow road, good asphalt and little traffic, although the La Pobla de Lillet side is the least busy of the two. The La Pobla de Lillet slope is completely covered by a thick forest, which makes it ideal for hot summer days. It is a very constant climb until the last final ramp. The Guardiola de Berguedà slope is harder, with stronger kms and ramps, although also with more breaks. It is clearly exposed to the sun and the wind in almost its entirety.
