Spandelles Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Most of the time you drive through the forest, only at the top you have a nice view. Partly the street is really bad but there is hardly any traffic.

Etchartes to Col des Spandelles

Highlight (Segment) • Other

A lot of gravel on the road, as a descent that really makes for a moderate mood.

Very nice and comparatively low-traffic driveway with a great view (including the grandiose transition between Soulor & Aubisque).
In the upper part you can fill the bottles directly at the streams on the roadside :-)

Col du Soulor

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col du Soulor is one of the emblematic passes of the Pyrenees and the Tour de France. This pass, which rises to an altitude of 1,474 meters, also owes its fame to its neighbor, the Col d'Aubisque. Located in the beautiful Ouzom valley, its ascent from the east offers beautiful mountain panoramas. The junction which leads to the Col d'Aubisque forms a wonderful viewpoint over the Litor cirque.

Col d'Aubisque

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col d'Aubisque is a true myth of the Pyrenees. Culminating at an altitude of 1,709 meters, it is difficult to separate from its neighbor: the Soulor. The climb from Laruns is 16.6 kilometers long with an average gradient of 7.17%. It crosses the spa town of Les Eaux-Bonnes as well as the ski resort of Gourette. The slope towards the Soulor forms a magnificent viewpoint over the Litor cirque.

On the way from Spain to France, there is no way around the majestic Pyrenees - the birthplace of the Tour de France. Of course, a classic tour had to be cycled.
