Sant Julià de Lòria approved about €25,000 for an automatic barrier at Camp de Claror, on the access track to Pic Negre: number-plate recognition set up to turn away foreign plates, a payment terminal and an intercom for incidents. The barrier opens once the fee is paid; card holders will be able to enter earlier and leave later than today’s guarded hours of about 08:00–19:00. No start date yet. The Comú has also awarded repairs to the track between 2,000 and 2,600 m.

A rider reports new signs banning motor vehicles at the uppermost hairpin of the Mont-Cenis road, where the track to Col de la Met starts, and turned back. The lower entry by the farm near the pass has no sign but does not connect to the track. The signs have come and gone before: a lift operator’s ban sign stood at the fifth hairpin in 2018, was gone in 2019, and riders drove up as late as September 2023.

Asked on 17 June whether the chairlift service track from the Mont-Cenis road to Col de la Met is open to a leisure 4x4, the Val Cenis ski area answered that in Haute-Maurienne all 4x4 tracks are closed to traffic, except for right holders: the ski-area operator, farmers and the forestry office (ONF). Works were under way on the ski area at the time. Under French law, motor vehicles may only use roads open to public traffic, which a service track is not. No municipal order was found.

From Monday 8 June, Sant Julià de Lòria controls vehicle access to Claror, Camp Ramonet, Port Negre and Coll de Finestres, the area of the Pic Negre track. Vehicles with foreign or rental plates need the Comú’s express permission. A day pass costs €26 per vehicle, sold at the Tràmits office, the tourist office or the barrier booth; a card costs €35 per person (Tràmits, Mon–Fri 08:00–14:30, or the online form). Fines range from €50 to €3,000. Access stays open until November or December, depending on the weather.

On the Spanish side, Bescaran’s ordinance no. 7 on motor access to its mountain is in force from 8 May. Barriers at the start of the Pudovern track, at Sant Miquel (junction of the Sorri and mountain tracks) and at Sorri, and a sign at Coll de Sarset, close the tracks to motor vehicles except for authorised ones: residents and local vehicle-tax payers, landowners with a business there, farming, forestry, hunting and livestock, hut maintenance, and house owners or tenants from 1 May to 31 October. Taxi drivers and mountain guides can apply for special permits; cards are free and carry the plate. Driving without one is a serious offence, fined €300 to €3,000. The highest tracks at Coll de Finestres, Camp Ramonet and Port Negre are left out of the ordinance for now.

The management commission of the Madriu-Perafita-Claror valley, a UNESCO site next to the Pic Negre track, has taken up motor access again: its four parishes agreed to work on a joint ordinance for vehicles entering the protected valley. A joint ordinance had already been announced as ready in 2019.

A driver reported on Wikiloc on 12 August 2025 that the route is closed to 4x4s and motorbikes not registered in Andorra, and that Andorran vehicles need a permit too. Earlier reports there mention a €25 fee per vehicle since summer 2023, paid at a booth with a barrier; beyond it the track gets steep, low range helps and the upper part is no place for SUVs. From Sant Julià de Lòria the climb is 20.8 km with 1,638 m of ascent and up to 16%; from Bescaran on the Spanish side 16.4 km with up to 20%. An abandoned VW T1 van stands near the 2,643 m summit. Older, unconfirmed reports on Wikiloc: the approach from Martinet in Cerdanya has been closed to vehicles since summer 2022; tracks above Lles had a barrier and fines of at least €300, covering access from Lles, Aransa and Bescaran; an undated comment says the tracks from the restaurants that join the Pic Negre track are closed.

Snow kept the Claror area, which includes the Pic Negre track, closed for several weeks longer; controlled access opened on Tuesday 10 June 2025 and was to stay open until 6 December, weather permitting. In 2024 the Comú authorised 815 vehicles, down from 1,846 in 2023, the first year with a fee.

Since Sant Julià barred foreign vehicles in 2024, the neighbouring Catalan municipalities report less traffic but had considered closing their side completely. Talks with Sant Julià put that on hold; the idea now is reciprocity, with only residents of Sant Julià and the border municipalities allowed on the forest tracks on both sides. A joint management model is being worked out with the mayors of the Alt Urgell-Cerdanya hunting reserve; nothing is decided.

The yearly card for motor access to Camp de Claror, Camp Ramonet, Port Negre and Coll de Finestres now costs €35 instead of €5; it covers one Andorran-registered vehicle. Andorran herders and those of Arcavell and Bescaran with pastures in the parish keep free access. The Comú will also inventory all the parish’s paths and set what each may be used for, with motor-sport clubs and race organisers at the table.

The Comú approved an ordinance that bars motor vehicles with foreign plates from the parish’s mountain tracks, to ease crowding at Port Negre and the Plana de Claror on the way to Pic Negre. The opposition abstained. Mayor Cerni Cairat said barriers cannot close every track, so enforcement relies on the forest wardens and other agents.

Several municipalities of the Alt Urgell, on the Spanish side, are working on an ordinance for motor vehicles on their forest tracks, among them the Valls de Valira with Bescaran. Track closures in Cerdanya, Aran and Andorra have pushed traffic, sometimes groups and races, onto their tracks. The hunting reserve, the Comú de Sant Julià de Lòria and the county council are involved; the rules were meant to be ready by the end of 2024.

Heavy rain in early June brought down a large boulder above the hamlet of Gagnor; it fell more than 100 metres and left debris on the Chiambeiretto-Collombardo road. Condove closed the road on 1 June. After a specialist firm removed loose rock and trees and secured the slope, the order was revoked and the road reopened on the afternoon of 21 June.

Sant Julià de Lòria is tendering for a private security company to check vehicles at Camp de Claror, and for a small hut above the Roca de Pimes where the checks will take place. Traffic has grown, and online videos, one of motorbikes riding down a scree slope of Pic Negre, drew attention. The fee approved in December applies from 2023: €25 per person and day for motor vehicles on the forest track through Camp de Claror, Camp Ramonet, Port Negre and Coll de Finestres.

The Comú added a fee of €25 a day for motor access to Camp de Claror, the forest track towards Pic Negre, to its tax ordinance for 2023, with a €5 yearly card for Andorran vehicles; until then access was free. Reports differ on whether the €25 is per person (Altaveu, 2023) or per foreign vehicle (Diari d’Andorra, 2025). In 2026 a day pass costs €26 per vehicle and the card €35.

In Camp de Claror, Camp Ramonet, Port Negre and Coll de Finestres, vehicles with more than two wheels may only drive from the second Sunday of May to the first Sunday of December; outside it only tracked vehicles. Forest wardens enforce it with fines of €50 to €3,000.

Sant Julià de Lòria is drafting an ordinance to replace its obsolete rules on motor access to its mountains, including Pic Negre, which vehicles reach on a forest track from La Rabassa. Herders and authorised people would keep access; outsiders could be shut out, and a winter closure is not ruled out. A video of motorbikes in the Madriu valley, already closed to motor vehicles, prompted the debate.

Condove asked to limit motor vehicles on the Chiambeiretto-Collombardo road, from Pilone di Belvardo up to the col on the border with Lemie, to the owners and tenants of the land it serves. The Region agreed; its reasoning sets the ban for 16 October to 15 May, citing landscape protection and avalanche risk in winter. The road climbs to about 2,000 m before descending into the Valle di Viù.
