グランの峠・トップ9

Beautiful road with incredible views and a quick and nice descent from Peyresourde to Garin. Watch out for steong winds!

Beautiful climb up Col de Menté. Although not a really famous climb it is a beautiful one, with nice hairpins inside the forest and beautiful views at the end.

From Mauléon-Barousse, this 19-kilometer hors catégorie climb is completed in three stages. The first seven kilometers are fairly straightforward, then the next seven become more complicated, before culminating in a grand finale with the last five at over 9%. Even more so than on other passes, the key here is economy.

From Lez, the ascent of the Col de Menté is classified as first-class, with nine kilometers at an average gradient of 8.7%. Its fairly steady gradient allows you to find your own pace.

Beautiful asphalt road whether on the Ferrere side or the Luchon side. The climb on the Ferrere side is much more pleasant. I recommend this pass.

great little cafe, brilliant crepes. Also sells beer and coffee. fantastic value and very friendly at top of col de peyresoude

The port of Balès rises to an altitude of 1,755 meters. The climb from Mauléon-Barousse is 18.9 kilometers long with an average gradient of 6.3%, including some sections at over 14%.

The Col de Pierrefite and its cromlech is a place steeped in history and mystery. Its megalith surrounded by stones arranged in a circle takes us back several millennia before our era.
