Ascent to Cavallers

A cycle tour route that runs from Barruera to Cavallers Dam, climbing up the Noguera de Tor. It ascends a slope of more than 600 m, travelling 11,5 kilometres of asphalt in constant ascent, practically at all times tracing a constant diagonal line. The first part of the ascent, up to caldes de Boí, is on well-maintained and wide road, with surface in very good condition. From there, the road narrows and the surface worsens; thus, extreme caution is recommended.

Ascent to Boí Taüll Ski Resort

A long journey, with personality, taht ascends from barruera to Boí Taüll ski resort. It climbs up a slope of nearly 1.000 travelling 18 kilometres of asphalt. The demands of this journey are compensated with the human aspects of the route, interspersed with visits to different localities such as Boí, Taüll and Pla de l'Ermita, where there are noteworthy Romanesque churches recognized as World Heritage. The ascent is on a wide and well-maintaindes road with a surface that is in perfect condition but with considerable vehicle traffic; thus, extreme caution is recommended.

Ascent to Durro

This is a short but demanding ascent climbing from barruera to Durro. The road runs to the Durro narrow road wich, through the forest, climbs with constant zig-zags up a steep slope of almost 300m in only three kilometres. Except for the first metres of the route, wich run practically flat, the rest of the ascent is demanding, with no allowance for rest, as the gradient practically never goes below 10%.

From Durro, the route can be extended to the Romanesque hermitage of Sant quirc, adding 2 km more of paved trail with low gradient.
