    Tips

    September 13, 2019

    The western ascent to the Col du Tourmalet is the more scenic and the harder. Approximately 18 km (11 miles) covers 1,400 meters (1,400 ft) of elevation gain. In the lower section, the pass has a steady and easy gradient in the high single digits. After the village of Berges, there are a few double-digit climbs, after which the gradient returns to a steady gradient. Only at km (16 miles) do the switchbacks begin, and thus the steepest section, which reaches a maximum gradient of 14%. Then the monument is already in sight, and the col is in sight.

      It's big and famous, but also a very nice climb. Steady incline until the last couple of hundred meters. Don't fall asleep on the decent ;)
