피레네 - 몽 페르두 최고의 라이딩 경로

A magnificent viewpoint

For the first 20 kilometers, the climb is gentle, crossing the picturesque landscapes of the Gavarnie cirque. Then once you reach the town of Gavarnie, the real climb begins, with much steeper gradients that can exceed 10%, reaching an altitude of 2,200 meters.

The Pineta refuge is located at the bottom of the valley of the same name, very close to the source of the Cinca River, at an altitude of 1,240 metres. It has a capacity of 71 beds, as well as hot showers, a bar, a cafeteria and a food service.

Very worth seeing, you have to see it

starting point to climb the Tourmalet from Luz-St-Sauveur

On our group visit to the Cirque de Troumouse, and given the restricted access to vehicles until the final parking lot, we decided to establish our supplies in this intermediate area of the climb, having passed the horseshoe curves area after Héat. It was a magnificent day, with bright sunshine and hardly any air. There is enough space and the views of the mountains are fantastic. There is tranquility. It is very important to collect everything and not leave any traces or trash!

The 19km to Gavarnie are easy and on foot, 705 meters in altitude. The next 10 kilometers are tough and grueling with about 830 meters of elevation gain. Moreover, you go above 2000m, which also makes it more difficult.

Very nice climb. The first 19km are quite easy for about 705 meters of altitude, then very challenging 10km with about 830 meters of altitude. Similar to La Bérarde in Bourg d'Oisans (but easier)
