History
Coll de Pradell is a brutally steep and irregular Bergueda climb with concrete ramps and serious double-digit sections, among the hardest ascents in Catalunya. The 14.7 km climb from Guardiola de Bergueda at 7.2% average hides ramps steeper than 20%.
The mountain is known for its irregular, punchy gradient profile and concrete road surface. The steepness and irregular pacing make it a selective climb used in regional racing.
The pass sits in the Bergueda region and is frequently used as a training ground for serious climbers. The combination of steepness, short distance, and challenging terrain make it one of Catalunya's most feared climbs.
