Located in the Pyrenees mountain range, the road to the summit is unpaved. It links the villages of Arànser and Bescaran. It’s 20.5 km long, and recommended from late spring to early fall, since you´ll go through mountain roads where there is often snow. Avalanches, heavy snowfalls and landslides can occur anytime and can sometimes block some sections of the road, being extremely dangerous due to frequent patches of ice. Along the way you can enjoy a high mountain environment typical of the Pyrenees area.
