Fountain in the charming little village of Ayguatebia to refill your water before the final of the Col de la Llose or the Col de Jouël.

It's an idyllic spot in the Conflent area, a remote lake where swimming is not permitted, although it's set up for a picnic with tables and benches. There's also a barbecue and camping area. It's one of the few remote and peaceful spots in the Pyrenees.

It is a town to breathe the tranquility of the mountains in all its expression. It is located halfway between the climb to the Col de la Llosa and the Coll de Jouell, therefore, it is a common stopover for cyclists who cover the Route du Cols. Like any good town, it has a beautiful fountain where we can recharge water for the challenges we are going to face.

It is a small elevation that allows you to connect Railleu and Caudiès-de-Conflent with Aiguatèbia in the most direct way possible. The road is very narrow although it has been recently paved and the asphalt is simply perfect. On the Aiguatèbia slope it is approximately 3 km very hard, although with wonderful views of the valley. You can not lose this!

I totally agree with the title. It is a wonderful high mountain road, with views at the beginning, between forests and pastures later, always quiet, with hardly any type of noise, without cars or motorcycles at high speeds. It is a cycling paradise. Another fact to keep in mind is that this road allows you to trace several different routes, always between Coll de Creu and Coll de la Llosa.

You can access the Masella ski resort through 3 different areas: - Pla de Masella, the main area, where several businesses, bars and hotels are located. - Coma Oriola, the most remote access, which is reached once you have overcome Pla de Masella and after overcoming 7 more km of ascent. He has a small business, only open during the winter months, when the ski resort is open. In summer, there is nothing... only tranquility!!!! - La Pía, an area with a large parking lot and which, like Coma-Oriola, does not have any type of service in summer. La Pía is close to crowning the Collada de Toses and on the route to the Collada de la Creueta. My advice for visiting La Masella by bicycle is without a doubt to go up to Coma Oriola and descend to Pla de Masella to have a drink.

Perched at around 1,800 meters above sea level, Font-Romeu is a dynamic mountain resort. There are many restaurants there that allow you to recharge your batteries before or after outdoor activities.
