Bagnères-de-Bigorre is at the foot of the emblematic Pic du Midi. This spa resort, which dates back to antiquity, is located in a peaceful natural setting.

The town is about thirty kilometers from the Col du Tourmalet. The Col d'Aspin, another legend of the Tour de France, is also not far away.

Very nice departure town for the Tourmalet. Located 29 kilometers from the pass, it is 29 kilometers uphill, certainly the first 12 kilometers to reach the official start of the pass offers a slight slope between 3 and 6%, but it will weigh on the legs....
