Climb to Port de la Bonaigua, 2072 mts

Barcelona Tourmalet
The summit. La Bonaigua 2072 meters



Climb to port de la Bonaigua is one of the toughest moments in our Challenge. This is a long climb, over 2000 mts. We will be sleeping in Esterri d'Aneu, just at the foot of the climb, so no warming up! Directly to conquer one of the highest and toughest cols in the Pyrenees, often with headwind blowing. Once we get to the summit, we will descend towards Viella and Vall d'Aran, to begin the second col of the day, Col de Portillon.
