Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Lake Matemale

Highlight • Other

Very large lake (retained on the Aude) with a beautiful view of the two roads that go down there. The one that goes to Angles seemed to me more pleasant in terms of curve, and circulation.

Views of the road to Coll de la Creu

Highlight • Viewpoint

Although it is a climb that goes through a dense black pine forest, there are some moments where there are gaps that allow you to see the valley and the towns of Formigueres and Puyvalador.

The coll de la Perche is a mountain pass that culminates at 1579 meters, on the plateau of La Perxa, in Alta Cerdanya, in Northern Catalonia. The port from the town of Olette has a lake length of more than 22 km, with an average of 4.2%.
From this point you have a fantastic view with the Canigó in the background.

Llac de Caudiès - Diversion

Highlight • Other

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.

Ayguatébia

Highlight • Settlement

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.

Col de Juell 1,500 m

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Small pass, at the bend of a bend, on a municipal road not necessarily very well cleaned, but there is no one, it's great!
