Route of the ridges

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very beautiful route that connects Lurbe-Saint-Christau to Arudy. Little used, it winds through a beautiful forest. On the way, you pass the maquis du Bager stele.

Louvie-Juzon

Highlight • Other

Louvie-Juzon is located at the gates of the magnificent Ossau valley. This charming little village is the ideal starting point for many mountain passes. From here the Marie-Blanque pass is very close, while you will have to pedal a little more to find the mythical Aubisque and Soulor passes.

Ascent of the Col de Marie-Blanque from Bielle

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Often used by the Tour de France, the Col de Marie-Blanque is less steep from Bielle than from its other side, thanks in particular to the passage through the beautiful Bénou plateau. The average gradient is 5.4%, with some sections reaching over 11%.
