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.

Rural road that allows you to go from Bolvir de Cerdanya, entering from the Pirinenc Axis, following the old road from Talltorta to Bolvir, to Alpí on the c162 road.

It is a flat route along narrow paved roads where barely 2 cars pass each other and that allows access from Bolvir to the Fontanals golf area without the need to go through Puicerdà.

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.
