Arreau

Highlight • Settlement

Charming little mountain village located on the banks of the Neste. Its location is ideal for tackling several passes in the area, including the Col d'Aspin, Peyresourde and Portet, among others.

You will find there accommodation possibilities and supplies.

Ascent of Col du Tourmalet from Luz-Saint-Sauveur via Super Barèges

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The western ascent to the Col du Tourmalet is the more scenic and the harder. Approximately 18 km (11 miles) covers 1,400 meters (1,400 ft) of elevation gain. In the lower section, the pass has a steady and easy gradient in the high single digits. After the village of Berges, there are a few double-digit climbs, after which the gradient returns to a steady gradient. Only at km (16 miles) do the switchbacks begin, and thus the steepest section, which reaches a maximum gradient of 14%. Then the monument is already in sight, and the col is in sight.

Today we first went downhill before taking the Col de Aspin. Then came the Tourmalet in sunny 25 degrees 😅

Today the mountains with the relatively even gradient were on the plan. The sun banged even more than on the days before. The descents went great on the best asphalt. The good crepes at Peyresourde are also unbeatable in terms of price, 12 pieces for 7€.

Good evening everyone.
A very nice day today, under a beautiful sun. Magnificent landscapes. Easy climb of the Tourmalet. I'll let you enjoy the photos and I'll leave you for this evening. Tomorrow, the big day of the trip awaits us, 125km and 3200+, 4 passes to cross, and it's already late!
A little tune in the head: "Our era …

This is the best stage I've had! I had very good sensations on the climbs up the pass and I really enjoyed the descents.

A small souvenir photo, at the same spot as 2 years ago, at the col de Peyresourde.

June 12, 2025,Le Tour de 1975 Etappe 11

After two rest days, a challenging stage was on the agenda today: first the Tourmalet, then the Col d'Aspin, and finally Pla d'Adet, a rather desolate ski resort at an altitude of 1,680 m in summer.
This was also the 11th stage in the "original" version; however, it began in Pau and took place on July 8, 1975. The winner …
