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.

August 29, 2023,Boucle Loudenvielle - col d'Azet - Hourquette d'Ancizan - col d'Aspin - Loudenvielle

Back after 3 days of rain/snow... It feels weird to ride with arm warmers!

I met several female professionals (Lidl-Trek, SD-Works), it was motivating!

June 25, 2024,Col de Val Louron Azet / Hourquette d’Ancizan / Col D' Aspin

If you want to drive three passes in one day, this tour is a good choice. The starting point is near Avajan and can be reached from Luchon in about 30 minutes by car.
Alternatively, you can drive to the Col de Peyresourde from Luchon. But be careful, you then have to make your way back along the pass road. …

What a day, what weather and these impressions of the magnificent landscape. Today 2100 m+, the Ancizan was the most strenuous, also because of the great midday heat. The ascent to the Col d'Aspin has been newly tarred for the TdF.

A very nice but difficult tour especially in hot weather. Don'@t forget to take enough water.
And enjoy the landscape.
