Tips
The Col du Soulor is one of the emblematic passes of the Pyrenees and the Tour de France. This pass, which rises to an altitude of 1,474 meters, also owes its fame to its neighbor, the Col d'Aubisque. Located in the beautiful Ouzom valley, its ascent from the east offers beautiful mountain panoramas. The junction which leads to the Col d'Aubisque forms a wonderful viewpoint over the Litor cirque.

The two Pyrenean passes are Tour de France legends and are rarely missing in the program of the tour. Beautiful scenery but the view you have to fight for.

If climbing from Argeles-Gazost, you can avoid the busy and boring main road by either:
- going via col de Spandelles and Ferrieres, or
- going via St Savin, Estaing, and col des Borderes.
You have a bit of extra climbing but quiet roads.July 21, 2020
