Impressive rock landmark

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.

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

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.

At this bend, the trees disappear and the pastures spread out in their splendor. In the distance, you can see the top of the port. At its feet, a beautiful and quiet valley, which we have climbed from Ferrère. I was waiting for two straggling group members at this point. I enjoyed the views and the tranquility like a child.

The ski lifts are very useful for practicing winter sports. Alpine skiing would not be possible without ski lifts. Now, in summer they are a sweet temptation that must be avoided at all costs. This lift is a good alternative for the cyclist who is accompanied by someone who does not go up on a bicycle. While the cyclist climbs SuperBagnères on the road, the companion climbs to the ski resort by lift, finding himself at the top of the pass.

When you start the Col de Menté through Sant Beat, right on the first ramp, you come across this work of art, which can be admired from the road.
