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

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.

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.

Nice little pass between the Garonne valley and the Ger valley. More information: https://www.quaeldich.de/paesse/col-des-ares/

Small intermediate pass on the way to the Col des Ares.

Superb pass with magnificent views of the Pyrenees. easy to do with an average percentage of 4 to 5%.
