Cycling route at 90%. Feasible on gravel but more comfortable on a mountain bike. The first thirteen kilometres are on roads. After the Can Font pass, the trail is difficult and congested. Tedious round trip to the Palomers pass. Easy round trip to the Cavaller and Travesses passes. Beautiful trails for the last five passes.
