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.

Mountain pass where the last 7km are closed to traffic, the feeling of pedaling through there with such silence and calm is that of almost hiking at high altitudes. The paved summit is 2204m.

The climb to the Puigmal ski resort is a classic in French Cerdanya. Two years ago, the paved section was lengthened by a few km until it reached approximately 2,200m. The climb is long, with easy areas and sections with hard ramps. There is even a descent of 1 kilometer before reaching the first service area of the station in Cotzé. At the beginning, the views are very beautiful because you can appreciate the size and length of the Cerdaña valley. Half way up, there is hardly anything interesting. The final part is spectacular with the views of Puigmal and the surrounding mountain circus.

It is the main service area to access the renovated Puigmal ski resort. There is a bar and restaurant. There is also a mountain bike business, where they could help you with any repairs.

It is a very good alternative to cross to France and avoid the Puigcerdà pass, especially if you want to go to the Puigmal or Coma Morera area.
