A very pleasant climb. Few cars, a cool, shady area. There are some rest areas that make the 8km climb manageable.

It is the highest point on the road that links Sant Llorenç Savall and Sant Feliu de Codines, where most cyclists stop after the effort of the climbs on both sides. The views of the village of Gallifa are worthwhile. Here we also find the detour to reach Castellterçol (i Granera) overcoming the Coll d'Ases, the highest and hardest mountain pass in this area. An excellent climb to enjoy for its slopes and the beauty of the landscape immersed in tranquility.

If there is water, it is a very nice place to stop in summer. In winter, if the sun is shining, which is usually at midday, it is also worth it.
