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.

Pont d'Arrens-Marsous

Highlight • Bridge

The Arrens-Marsous bridge spans the Gave d'Arrens. This is the name given to the upper part of the Gave d'Azun. The term “gave” designates watercourses in Pyrenean toponymy. This small stone bridge is a so-called cove bridge, so called for its ambiguous shape reminiscent of a basket.

Plateau du Bénou

Highlight • Viewpoint

Provides welcome respite between two steep sections up to Marie Blanque. If descending, enjoy the magnificent views but be alert to wandering livestock and people.

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.

We are leaving Thérèse this morning, who received us admirably well the day before. We lacked nothing from our arrival to our departure, and were able to take the opportunity to chat at length with our host.

As we cross the entrance gate, we raise our heads in the direction of our azimuth. A shiver goes through us when we …
