    Nice pass. Upstream is a plateau where fresh winds tend to blow from the Atlantic. It goes up, past typical Pyrenean villages. Secluded, beautiful nature. Hardly any cars, hardly any motorcycles. Above view of the next challenge in the west: the Col de Pailhères!

    From Axat, it's a long climb, 18km. It's quite beautiful down in the gorges, then a few kilometers of fairly monotonous woods. Arriving on the plateau, it clears up but it's rural. The impressive view is worth it when you reach the pass. Going down there must be a blast, the tarmac is good, it's quite wide and there's little traffic. I went down via Escouloubre: the tarmac is bad, gravel, but the forest is enchanting! Why not go the other way, then, up via Escouloubre and down via Bousquet / Roquefort etc.?
