A beautiful transitional port between the Le Ger river valley and the Garonne river valley

Also, stop at the Là Soulan hostel for a well-deserved break. Very warm welcome. 👍

Not very long but good percentage

hard on a mountain bike but it's so beautiful

Beautiful pass of the Tour de France offering a very beautiful point of view at its summit. It can be accessed by gravel or mountain bike in two different ways and also left in two different ways without going through the tarmac ...

One of the mythical Pyrenean ports of the Tour de France, known largely for the tragic fall of Luis Ocaña in the 1971 Tour when he was leading the general classification. Its 2 aspects have a lot of crumbs: - west slope that starts from Saint Béat: it is the hardest. It is 9.7 km with an average slope of 8.7%. It is a very constant climb, with a small break when passing through Boux. The first part is a little harder and uglier since you barely have any views and you go up through the middle of a valley. The final part is spectacular with its many horseshoe curves, good panoramic views and the monument to the place where Luis Ocaña fell. - east slope: it is longer, with an initial section of 7 km very winding with a slope of 4%. It also has a break in its intermediate zone. Once the hard part starts, it is also very constant, like the west slope, although the average slope is 7-8%. This aspect has even more twists than the previous one. For more information, consult the profile published by cylcingcols.com -- > http://www.cyclingcols.com/col/Mente

Popular with cyclists, the Portet-d'Aspet pass peaks at an altitude of 1,069 meters between the Ger and Bouigane valleys.

Magnificent view for the climb to the pass from Artichan-de-Frontignes, however I found the climb on the other side (from the Col de Buret) more interesting because it was a little longer.
