Arcalis (Andorra) Arcalis is a fairly gentle climb for the most part. The first 6km are little more than false flat. From here, there are a few steeper gradients, but it is mostly steady and easy to settle into a comfortable rhythm.
IT IS BEAUTIFUL HERE
This climb is not specifically hard apart from couple of switch backs and will allow you to look around and contemplate some Pyrenees around you.
LE TOUR SPIRIT
This is Chris Froom attacks under the pouring rain up to Arcalís in the Tour de France 2016 Stage 9.
SELFIE POINT
If you are not riding all out for KOM or PR, don’t forget to stop over for a selfie with this Le Tour heritage!
Andorra
The road surface is in excellent condition throughout.
There is some traffic on the climb, but it is never a real nuissance. The amount reduces considerably after passing through the village of El Serrat.
