튀에스 앙트르 발스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪17‬개의 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%.

Culminating at 1,579 meters above sea level, the Col de la Perche can be climbed by four routes in total. Each of them includes relatively gentle slopes. At the top, the view of the surrounding area is splendid and rewards your efforts!

It's probably not the most spectacular pass in the Pyrenees, but it has its charms. Its position, in the middle of the Catalan Pyrenees natural park, makes it a privileged passage for admiring 360° of the mountains, valleys and plains of this protected area. If you pass by, take the time to look around for yourself and enjoy the view.

It is a mountain pass that connects Conflent with Cerdanya. It can be reached in a multitude of variants. For me there are 4 clear aspects: - Eastern slope - from Olette along the main road N116 - West slope - from Sallagosa on the main road N116 - West slope - from Sallagosa along the secondary road that crosses the Col de Llo and the town of Eyne - West slope - from Llivia crossing Estavar and the Col d'Egat. With some nuances, in general the 4 slopes are soft and long. The views from the port on both sides are beautiful, especially towards the Eyne ski resort. It must be taken into account that the two slopes that run along the N116 highway have a lot of traffic, with motorcycles and trucks.

It is the final stretch of the climb on its western slope. Previously, until you reach Llagone, you can get there via the Col de Quillane or the Col de la Perche. It is 3 km with a road in perfect condition, very wide and with rough asphalt. At the detour, right at the beginning, there is a small section of descent to then face 2.5km at 7% and some hard ramps. At the top of Col de la Llose there is a bar where you can have a drink.

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.
