The Col de Pailhères, or Port de Pailhères, is one of the emblematic passes of the Pyrenees and the Tour de France. Culminating at 2,001 meters above sea level, it is one of the few passes in the Pyrenees to exceed the symbolic bar of 2,000 meters.
The climb from Mijanès is 10.6 kilometers long with an average of 8.2%, including some passages at more than 10%.
It is also possible to climb from Ax-les-Thermes by means of a climb of 18.6 kilometers with an average of 6.9%.

The Col de Pailhères with its 2001 m is one of the four two-thousanders of the French Pyrenees. The entire journey to the East, but especially the last narrow kilometers with the narrow serpentines glued to the slope, are among the most beautiful things you can do in the high mountains with the racing bike and are thus at eye level with the Alpine passes Col du Galibier and Gaviapass.

A very nice climb.
There is a small parking lot at the bottom of the chalet, good if you want to start there. Then you can start with 10% and it feels like it stays that way.
Great bends and beautiful landscape.
There is hardly any shade on the quite good road.
