Route

This cycling route begins in Barruera and follows the Noguera de Tor River, culminating at the Cavallers Dam. The route spans 11.5 kilometers of paved road, featuring a steady climb with over 600 meters of elevation gain and a consistent gradient throughout most of the ascent. The initial section, up to Caldes de Boí, is on a well-maintained road. Beyond Caldes de Boí, the road becomes narrower, and the surface quality declines, requiring extra caution. From this point onward, the route enters the peripheral protection zone of the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park, offering spectacular views of the high-mountain scenery. The section leading up to the Boí junction coincides with the climb to the Boí Taüll Ski Resort.

Observations

During winter, the road from Caldes de Boí to the Cavallers Dam is usually closed due to snow.
