Col de Peyresourde

The Col de Peyresourde is one of the legendary passes of the Pyrenees. Located at an altitude of 1,589 meters, it marks the separation between the Hautes-Pyrénées and Haute-Garonne departments. The most emblematic climb is the one that starts from Bagnères-de-Luchon. It extends over 13.74 kilometers with an average of 6.9%. It begins with a long false flat before really rising over the last few kilometers.

One of the most beautiful climbs and views in the Pyrenees.

The beginning of the pass from Luchon begins immediately with an 8% slope, then after a false flat and a small descent we resume the ascent with elevations up to 10%.
Finally the last part with many switchbacks and a slope always at 8 or 9%.
