September 24, 2025,Boucle Pont sur le gave de Pau – Hautacam au départ de Argelès-Gazost
September 26th, 6 degrees Celsius at the top...
The view is superb all along the pass.


The arrival is surprising: ..... A huge parking lot with nothing.
No coffee, snacks... Nothing.


Just the pass sign for the photo.

Hi friends, this morning it was the ascent of HAUTACAM AND TRAMASELLE, doing the climb cold was not the best idea, especially with such an irregular pass 🙄

Down into the valley to the bike shop and the bakery, then up to Hautacam.
We're following the 1975 Tour de France route (more or less freely adapted), and since we're staying at the foot of the climb anyway, the climb was a good option, even though Hautacam was the first stage finish in 1994.
