Tips from the Community
It is a nice climb because of the tradition of the port, because of the views there are, I recommend that if you go down, be careful because of the sharp curves and the narrow road.

It is a small town that is in a privileged environment. It is a haven of peace.

This is the road that leaves Sant Pere de Torelló and ascends the southern slope to Coll de Bracons. It is a winding road, which generally gains altitude, although with continuous breaks. Ideal on hot days as it has many shadows.

It is worth passing through this town and breathing in its tranquility and beautiful views. In general, the Vall d'en Bas is full of small corners where you can get lost in the beauty of its landscapes.

Together with the Collada de Collfred they are the great ports in the area in terms of hardness. The port of Bracons has 2 completely different aspects. The best is the eastern slope, but I recommend facing both at some point in your life. - The eastern slope, which starts from the Vall d'en Bas, is 8 km long, the last 7 km at an average of 9%. The final kms are the hardest and most constant at 10%. The panoramic views of the Vall d'en Bas are continuous. It's a door! - The west slope, which starts from Torelló, is very irregular with the first 14km with a continuous up and down, where you gain height little by little. From this point, starting from Sant Andreu de la Volta, the slope rises radically, leaving 5km ahead on average at 7%, with a full km at 10%. I leave you the link with the altimetry of the port by @cyclingcols --> http://www.cyclingcols.com/col/Bracons
