last climb of the track from the Bago de Lesuí to the track that connects to the triador. sudden rise and be aware that if it has rained recently the ground is very clayey and it becomes a mountain of mud. Although the track is wide, it is full of streams and holes. Just as the one that goes up the slopes is comfortable and easy, this one is not so much. However, the views are worth it

The arrival from Llavorsí is amazing, long but beautiful; the descent to Espiu is almost 30 turns and is even more beautiful than being at the top. I don't want to think about what it must be like to go up there, in some areas the road surface is somewhat broken.

In summer, it can get hot on the long climb from Espui to the Triador Pass. This fresh mountain spring comes in handy about 2 km before the top of the pass.
