Cycling

Superb climb! Route reserved for cyclists from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at a certain time of the year! Watch out for the cows on the descent!

Road cycling

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.

Hiking

Culminating at 2,215 meters above sea level, it is the highest pass in the Pyrenees taken by a road.
Overlooking the village of Saint-Lary Soulan, it offers a lovely panorama of the valley.
