The narrow road climbs until 1,468m, following the fast flowing river Joeu through a deeply wooded valley to the scenic mountain cirque named Artiga de Lin, in the Spanish province of Lleida. The average gradient is 7.3% but there is a very steep section of 18.5% near the summit. The road, with a lenght of 9.1km,has a good surface but there is a deeply set cattle grid to watch out for, it is a fast descent and technical in places with narrow sharp bends.
A few kilometres from the top there is an information point with steps (a few minutes walk) leading to Uelhs Deth Joeu, a deafening waterfall of great power. It makes a good route combined with Bassa d'Oles following a tarmaced forestry road that connects the two.
The circulation of vehicles on the last kilometers is forbidden.
In the middle of this road, there’s a link to Bassa d'Oles (1.599m). A quiet climb through a relaxing scented, south facing pine forest. The road terminates at the top with the lake of Bassa d'Oles before you. There is a nice sign posted, easy walk around the lake that takes about 30 minutes, often frequented by fishermen. Once at the top you must descend the way you climbed. After a few kilometres, you can take another road that traverses the mountain side and meets the climb of Artiga de Lin, midway up.
