Tip by

20.9 km

It is a great unknown in this area of the Pyrenees and is simply spectacular, its 2 slopes. It also has hardness on both sides.
The longer eastern slope starts from Sant Joan de les Abedesses and crosses several villages and Romanesque churches. It is a port that goes in steps, with areas of very hard ramps and rests later. The asphalt in the final part is in very poor condition, although it can be circulated easily.
The west slope starts from Ribes de Freser and has 2 very different parts. Until you reach the town of Brugera, with an irregular but sufficiently wide asphalt road and a sustained slope of 6 - 7%. From Bruguera, the asphalt turns into concrete and the slope rises to 9%, remaining constant until reaching the top. The views crowning this slope are precise.

Ogassa Coal Mines Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

The Ogassa coal mine museum shows the municipality's past, when, thanks to the exploitation of the mines between the end of the 18th century and 1967, it brought economic and industrial growth to the Ripollès region that allowed the arrival of the railway to the territory.

Mina Dolça

Highlight • Historical Site

Mina Dolça is an old coal mine in the municipality of Ogassa built in the 19th century. Currently access to the mine is impracticable due to weeds at the entrance and water seepage.

Ogassa Village

Highlight • Settlement

Small town that deserves a cycling visit. Continuing on the road, we have different cycling options. To the west we ascend the Jou pass and then down to the Freser valley passing Ribes. To the east, we string a series of puzzle walls to the town of Camprodón. In some sections the asphalt is in poor condition.

Iron and Coal Route

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This stretch of greenway connects the towns of Ripoll and Sant Joan de les Abadesses, and makes it possible to avoid traffic on the national highway. It has a very gentle slope of 1% and is reserved for pedestrians and bicycles.

The iron and coal route alludes to the important presence of forges in Baix Ripollès and to the extraction of coal in the Ogassa mines. The route follows the old railway line and allows you to enjoy what has remained of the area's industrial past.
