Tips from the Community
The entire Vall d'en Bas, a valley located in the region of La Garrotxa, is a spectacular place, a very open valley surrounded by small mountains with lush vegetation. The views of the village of El Mallol, which rises above the valley, are particularly beautiful. Here you can take a great souvenir photo of the Vall d'en Bas.

It is a nice climb because of the tradition of the port, because of the views there are, I recommend that if you go down, be careful because of the sharp curves and the narrow road.

It is a small town that is in a privileged environment. It is a haven of peace.

This is the road that leaves Sant Pere de Torelló and ascends the southern slope to Coll de Bracons. It is a winding road, which generally gains altitude, although with continuous breaks. Ideal on hot days as it has many shadows.

Together with the Collada de Collfred they are the great ports in the area in terms of hardness. The port of Bracons has 2 completely different aspects. The best is the eastern slope, but I recommend facing both at some point in your life. - The eastern slope, which starts from the Vall d'en Bas, is 8 km long, the last 7 km at an average of 9%. The final kms are the hardest and most constant at 10%. The panoramic views of the Vall d'en Bas are continuous. It's a door! - The west slope, which starts from Torelló, is very irregular with the first 14km with a continuous up and down, where you gain height little by little. From this point, starting from Sant Andreu de la Volta, the slope rises radically, leaving 5km ahead on average at 7%, with a full km at 10%.

It is a very pleasant port on both sides since it is very bearable, always with ramps of around 5%. I like it better on the southern slope, the one that starts from The 2 slopes are very different, not only in length, but also in the type of landscape. The southern slope is 31.9km from Roda de Ter. It is used in the Terra de Remences march. It has 2 rest areas. It is an open climb, with mostly panoramic views. At first, a lot of views on the Plan de Vic. The northern slope, which starts from the Vall d'en Bas, is 11 km long and has hardly any views, almost always in the shadow of the vegetation and the gorge through which the road climbs. It has several horseshoe curves that give it the appearance of more of a mountain pass.
