    The Col du Tourmalet is one of the most legendary in the Pyrenees and the Tour de France. It is the pass that has been used most often in the history of the Tour since its first time in 1910. Culminating at 2,115 meters above sea level, it is also one of the highest. It is reached from Luz-Saint-Sauveur via 19 kilometers at 7.4% or from Sainte-Marie-de-Campan over 17.2 kilometers at 7.37% on average.

      The Col du Tourmalet is a mythical pass of the French Pyrenees, and the view is exceptional there in good weather. It is a must for all cyclists

        Tourmalet is a true cyclist’s climb. It’s steeped in history and whereas many popular cols are often polluted with coaches and sports cars, Tourmalet is relatively quiet. Whilst some sections are tough it rarely touches 10% but at 19km it’s long from Luz-Saint-Sauveur.

        Col du Tourmalet is part of our Montagnes du Monde series, head over to bit.ly/3BfpoIS and claim your badge if you rode this classic.
