History
Coll de Boixols is a tranquil and overlooked pre-Pyrenean climb in the Pallars-Jussa and Alt Urgell area with smooth roads and very low traffic. The 17.3 km climb from Isona at 5.3% average is steady and manageable.
The mountain sits in remote central Catalan mountains and is rarely crowded. The combination of good road quality, reasonable difficulty, and low traffic make it a peaceful training climb.
The pass connects several remote Catalan valleys and offers a quiet alternative to busier climbs. The combination of accessibility and solitude make it valued by local cyclists.
