The western approach of St-Marie-da-Campan starts right in town. Follow the road Route du Col d'Aspin (who is surprised?). The first 6 km are easy to drive. This is especially good if you already have the tourmalet in your legs. At the beginning of the turns there are then gradient percentages of 6-9%. Then it gets a bit flatter again and the pass is soon reached. In the upper part of the road leads through the forest, which provides relief especially in hot weather.

Not much to see above, but perfect for warming up for the Tourmalet. The journey from Arreau is very charming with many beautiful panoramas.

The pass becomes really interesting from the forest to then arrive on a magnificent view over the valley
