만테‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산길

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.

You get here with pains and work, I got off the bike a few meters earlier, there are parts with a very steep slope and just before the pass today I found snow. From the pass you have many routes, but none to be able to do on top of the bike. At the bottom of the valley, on the opposite side if you go up Fontlletera, you can see the refuge of Coma de Vaca, on the left the ascent to Balandrau and on the left in the background the peak of Bastiments and next to the path the house with antenna and the Gr cap in Vallter

Mataró > Vallter / Setcases (Camprodon Valley) 03/19/2024 - Stage 2 Tour of Catalonia

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.

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

The Col de Jou on the route of the GR10 offers very beautiful panoramas.

Very busy hill because it is on the way to climb emblematic peaks such as Bastiments, Gra de Fajol or to access the Vall de Núria, Coma de Fresers, Coma de Vaca, Noucreus, among others.
