Or “Bagargui” in its French version.
A pass which constitutes a real challenge for any cyclist, because it is classified among the harshest in France, especially when the heat gets involved. The climb begins calmly with a normal slope during which you must take advantage of the opportunity to turn your legs and find your rhythm. Because the big piece soon arrives on the first bends with 5 km of extreme difficulty. Averages of 9.5 then 12, 13, 12.5 and 11% follow one another without any respite. But at the end of the effort you will finally be able to enjoy a magnificent panorama of the ridges and perhaps admire the flight of migratory birds or vultures.

It is one of the toughest Pyrenean passes and, in general, little known by the average amateur because it has been used very little in professional cycling races.

It is a spectacular port on both sides. The eastern slope, which is the one marked in this section, is completely open, with hardly any vegetation, with a wide road in perfect condition. It is 9 km from the moment you get off the town of Larrau. The first 4 km are irregular, with some ramps that take your hiccups away. The last ones are literally very hard, with an average of 3 km at 12%!!!! The last km eases up a bit because it has a rest... but it also has important ramps.

In addition to being tough, this port is spectacular for its landscapes and panoramic views.

You can not lose this!!!!
