Large section above Alet les Bains is fenced off and blocks the route - even slipping around the fence isn’t worth it as the ridiculously steep climb is up a boulder field and unrideable in the direction shown. Some parts of the route are really nice but (1) private land and (2) impassable section makes it a bad day out - avoid

Steep climb, breathtaking view, sharp drop. The snowy peaks of the Pyrenees are breathtaking to view without hindrance for as long as you want. Unwind completely on the Pic Du Brau.
