Tips from the Community
This is a shortcut from Bolvir to the village of Guils along a road in perfect condition, narrower than usual and with hardly any traffic, much quieter than the main roads. Starting from Bolvir, at the church of Remei, the road climbs gently in the beginning, then inclines and becomes more difficult in the final stretch, without any impossible gradients. Since this is a section with hardly any trees, the panoramic views of Sardinia are very beautiful, although you may have to stop and look back if you are climbing towards Guils.

The climb to Col de Pradelles can be done from both sides. For the descent the eastern road is slightly better, but high speed is not possible.

It is a beautiful chapel next to the town of Bolvir, which in turn is next to one of the best hotels in Spanish Cerdanya. This chapel marks the beginning of one of the 2 variants (the hardest, along a narrow but in perfect condition road) to reach Guils, and later to the Guils - Fontanera cross-country ski resort.

It is a very good alternative to cross to France and avoid the Puigcerdà pass, especially if you want to go to the Puigmal or Coma Morera area.

A very long and pleasant climb, with continuous views of Cerdanya in the initial kms. Asphalt road in perfect condition, although somewhat irregular. Once you reach the town of Meranges, I recommend continuing up to the Malniu refuge. The road becomes very narrow and the quality progressively worsens, with the last 2 km of the climb being unpaved.

It is a very narrow road, with the asphalt in perfect condition, that connects Sanavastre with Fontanals. I usually use it as part of my journey to Puigcerdà / France from Prats as alternatives to the 2 main roads with a lot of traffic (the one that goes through Alp and the national road that comes from Bellver de Cerdaña). Highly recommended because it also has very good views.

It is an ideal place to spend the day in summer with the family, with a small stream and places to settle down for a picnic in the shade of trees. There are cows and horses grazing peacefully, and it has a beautiful balcony overlooking all of Cerdanya. From here a track starts that goes to the Malniu refuge.
