Tourmalet Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col du Tourmalet is one of the most legendary in the Pyrenees and the Tour de France. It is the pass that has been used most often in the history of the Tour since its first time in 1910. Culminating at 2,115 meters above sea level, it is also one of the highest. It is reached from Luz-Saint-Sauveur via 19 kilometers at 7.4% or from Sainte-Marie-de-Campan over 17.2 kilometers at 7.37% on average.

Old road to the Pic du Midi de Bigorre

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A path that climbs, all the time but gently up to an intersection, you choose to continue up to the refuge or even up to the Pic du Midi or else turn left and descend towards the Lac d'Oncet. Mountain lake which is not whitewater so with cold but not freezing temperatures. Superb walk with vultures, eagles, marmots but for them better have binoculars, although you will certainly hear them.

Cyclist statue at the Col du Tourmalet

Highlight • Monument

Mythical pass of the Pyrenees, impossible to come and not climb it. But prepare your most beautiful smile because photographers are present to immortalize everything ;)
