Often in the shadow of the Tourmalet, the Col d’Aubisque (1709 m) is nevertheless a must in the Pyrenees and in the Tour de France. From Eaux-Bonnes, the steep and uneven slopes lead to a spectacular stretch of road, towards the Col du Soulor (1474 m). From there, we reach the valley of Luz-Saint Sauveur and climb the slopes of the majestic Cirque de Troumouse (2088 m), the largest of the 3 cirques of the Pyrenees National Park, before descending to Gèdre-Gavarnie for the night.

The Col du Tourmalet (2115 m), the most sacred mountain of the Tour de France, has been climbed more than 80 times by the riders since 1910. This mastodon, which has become a monument over the years, dominates the Adour and Campan valleys from a great height. We then take the direction of the unknown but very bucolic Col de la Hourquette d’Ancizan (1564 m). From here, we can go directly to Loudenvielle or make a detour via the Col d’Azet (1580 m).

The mystical Bethmale Valley takes us to the unknown Col de la Core (1305 m) before a sequence of Col d’Agnès (1570 m) / Port de Lers (1517 m) and its lake before a long descent to Tarascon-sur-Ariège.

We quickly gain height thanks to the Route des Corniches which leads us to the Col du Chioula (1431 m) on the heights of Ax-les-Thermes. The giant of the day, the Port de Pailhères (2001 m) is sometimes compared to the Tourmalet for its length and steep finish. Once at the top we switch to the Aude, in a landscape and a climate already Mediterranean. This impression will be accentuated by the last climb of the day, the Col de Jau (1506 m) which marks the border between the Aude and the Pyrénées-Orientales and which allows us to conclude the most difficult day of this adventure.
