Tips from the Community
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.

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.

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.

The Catllaràs chalet is a curious modernist building built by Gaudí and located in the mountain range of the same name. It is surprising for its peculiar shape and architectural details that correspond to the naturalistic stage of the famous Catalan architect.

This pass has its hardest slope from Guardiola de Berguerdà, with a length of almost eight kilometers and a second half in which there are many ramps above 10%, reaching in some cases 15%. From La Pobla de Lillet the ascent is shorter, six kilometers long, and with the last four kilometers quite hard, with a percentage close to 7.5% and with some ramps of up to 14%.

In the middle of the forests of the Serra del Catllaràs we find the Villa designed by Antoni Gaudí in 1902. It housed the technicians and engineers of the Catllaràs coal mines, exploited at the beginning of the 20th century by the Portland cement company Asland. In 1932 the company transferred it to the City Council. In the 1940s the condition of the building was already quite bad and in 1971 it was renovated as a dormitory, replacing its most characteristic element, the spiral staircase, with a metal one. At the end of the 80s, due to changes in regulations, it fell into disuse and in a state of considerable degradation. It is currently in the process of restoration.
