This is a shortcut from Bolvir to the village of Guils along a road in perfect condition, narrower than usual and with hardly any traffic, much quieter than the main roads. Starting from Bolvir, at the church of Remei, the road climbs gently in the beginning, then inclines and becomes more difficult in the final stretch, without any impossible gradients. Since this is a section with hardly any trees, the panoramic views of Sardinia are very beautiful, although you may have to stop and look back if you are climbing towards Guils.

It is a beautiful chapel next to the town of Bolvir, which in turn is next to one of the best hotels in Spanish Cerdanya. This chapel marks the beginning of one of the 2 variants (the hardest, along a narrow but in perfect condition road) to reach Guils, and later to the Guils - Fontanera cross-country ski resort.
