Port d’Envalira – 2,409m

 

Route: N20/E09, N22 & CG-2 Ax-les-Thermes to Andorra la Valla - 47 miles

 

Ridden: 30/06/2007

 

The N22 takes you from France into Andorra and over this Col, where the road becomes the CG2. Fast with wide sweeping bends, the road is reasonably good for bikers but let down by the volume of traffic probably trying to smuggle untaxed income out of their Andorran bank accounts - there are hardly any Andorran border guards but on both the French and Spanish borders, the French and Spanish border guards are rigorous in their examination of their own citizens cars returning from Andorra.
