Attention la N20 (trace officielle) est fermée après l'Hospitalet près Andorre a priori jusqu'en mai 2025 (construction d'un paravalanche). Une déviation est mise en place par la N22. Le dimanche je suis passé par le chantier malgré la barrière. Il y avait 300 m de Gravel. Ces travaux concernent aussi le Col de Puymorens.

Dangerous road!
If you planning to climb this BIG from Ax-les-Thermes think twice because of a heavy traffic. This is a national “highway” where average speed is 80/90km/h and everyone is keeping it. There is a road part where speed limit is 110km/h and drivers enjoying it. Expect to have big tracks on the road as well without no space where you can go to the right. I was not sure do cyclists allowed to be on this road but I haven’t seen a sign forbidding that. 10km from the top the speed limit is reduced but expect to be blocked in a traffic jam because of the border control.
