From Axat, it's a long climb, 18km. It's quite beautiful down in the gorges, then a few kilometers of fairly monotonous woods. Arriving on the plateau, it clears up but it's rural. The impressive view is worth it when you reach the pass. Going down there must be a blast, the tarmac is good, it's quite wide and there's little traffic. I went down via Escouloubre: the tarmac is bad, gravel, but the forest is enchanting! Why not go the other way, then, up via Escouloubre and down via Bousquet / Roquefort etc.?

Absolutely great route for cyclists. One curve after another, uphill or downhill in a great scenic setting.

Nice little one of 15.3 km, very rolling (average slope 3.4% with a max of 8%), very nice shade in the summer when the sun is beating down!

I stopped there for a quick drink (without alcohol :p) before attacking the Roca Jalera pass. It's a very nice place, the owner is very nice and he even did me the favor of filling my bottles with fresh water and ice cubes please! Thanks again you'll see me again :)

One of the best experiences on my entire tour. I have this picture with the view of the mountains as my screen background. The roads are still closed, the snow is piled up meters high on the sides and at the same time there is not a single car on the road. Simply fantastic

If you are not sitting on the racer and driving through beautiful countryside, you could visit the castle

Here you can barely reach the 2000m altitude. The area is wonderful

This is the beginning of the Port de Pailhères on its eastern side, in Usson-les-Bains. It is worth stopping because there is a sign that commemorates the first climb of the Tour de France in 2003 and indicates the main information about the port.
