The road to the summit is called BV-4243. It’s asphalted but pretty steep, with sections up to 18% at the beginning and 12% near the end. Open to traffic throughout the year, may be closed for short periods in winter when the weather is bad. However, don't count on being able to ride to the top during winter. There is generally little traffic, although it can become busier during weekends, particularly in the summer.

The climb has been often featured in the Vuelta a España race. Not recommended if you have passengers that don't like heights. Starting from Berga, the ascent is 14.8 km long with 7 hairpin turns. The elevation gain is 1.075 meters. The average gradient is 7.26%. The road is not easy, though. Up, down, right, left all the time.
