Tips

One of the most difficult passes in the Pyrenees and in France with really hard percentages that go on and on. When you leave the road to pla d'Adet you go up a small road of goats, it's really nice in the middle of sheep and cows. Be careful when crossing the tunnel near the summit because it is not lit and animals may be in the tunnel. The view is magnificent it is really a must. You just have to go down the road, so watch out for the cows because you pick up speed very quickly.

Really tough but really worth it. If you make it to Espiaube, don’t give up because what follows is pure Pyrenean wilderness and makes the ride worthwhile. Your final water source is in Soulan so be sure to top up there.

It is the highest pass in the Pyrenees, but also the most difficult, with a breathtaking view of the AURE VALLEY
