Drivers report the track closed to non-Andorran vehicles

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.
