Vallter 2000, a not-so-known climb in the Pyrenees

At the top of the climb, where there is a Ski resort

Vallter 2000 is one of the gems of the spanish Pyrenees.

Reaching 2114 mts height, the total length of the climb is 11,2 km from Setcases with 7% average gradient and some full kilometers at 10%. Steep, very steep!

This climb has just one side, then when included in a race it has to be stage ending. This has been the case in Volta a Catalunya years 1986 (winner Juan Fernández), 1992 (winner Tony Rominger, ahead of A.Martin and a certain Indurain...), 2013 (Nairo Quintana), 2014 (winner T. Van Garderen) and 2019 (Adam Yates).

Here you can see the Strava segment for this climb. There is a certain Steven Kruiswijk as KOM... A real climber, no doubt.

So tiny and the mountains so huge

You won't believe we are that close to Barcelona. In just two hours train/1 hour drive we will be in a small village at the foot of Pyrenees. Climb a first category col, reaching 2000 mts height and afterwards a long, nice and safe descent to the starting point. All in all, just 90 km loop. Amazing, unforgettable.
Available just from June to September, depending on weather forecast!
