Nice place to finish a ride. Enjoy a drink and watch the aeroplanes taking-off/landing at the airstrip

The ski lifts are very useful for practicing winter sports. Alpine skiing would not be possible without ski lifts. Now, in summer they are a sweet temptation that must be avoided at all costs. This lift is a good alternative for the cyclist who is accompanied by someone who does not go up on a bicycle. While the cyclist climbs SuperBagnères on the road, the companion climbs to the ski resort by lift, finding himself at the top of the pass.

The climb to Superbagnères was psychologically very difficult for me because it is covered by the valley and the trees that cover the road. It is a long climb, with very hard initial and final areas, and an intermediate area with some rest. My experience was very hard because of the intense heat and the long initial straights that the port has. The final part, in addition to being hard, is truly spectacular and the effort and suffering are worth it. The views from the ski resort are incredible!

A very pretty, very pleasant town, with all kinds of shops and restaurants, ideal for organizing a stage of several days to discover this part of the French Pyrenees.
