ヴィニャックの峠・トップ18

11月から月に一度MTBでこの峠を越えていますが、雪のため車は通行止めですが、雪の中を鹿が走るのを見られるのは幸運です。😉

Quite accessible for a normal training level. The first section is more shaded, the second more open. Almost at the end, turn right to climb to the Peyragudes station. You can also do it at the summit with less gradient; it's a more accessible road in good condition.

Difficult pass at first, especially in the heat. Easier after the first third. Be careful of the unlit tunnel 1 km from the summit. For added peace and quiet, the road leading up to the pass is closed to traffic from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Although the climb up the Col de Peyresourde from Arreau is 18 kilometers, the slope only really steepens after Avajan, from the eleventh kilometer. You'll therefore need to save your strength for the first part to be able to tackle this Pyrenean classic.

Passes reserved for cyclists 9-12 p.m. this Monday 07/15, happiness!
