500m after we will find a path to the left, marked with a stone landmark, which will make us to be very attentive to the descent, with some technical section that according to our skill, will force us to put the foot to floor, and that always downhill, will lead us to Coll de Comallevosa, where we will see in front of us the last ascent of the route, short but intense.
