The Col du Tourmalet... a pass that was a real challenge for me! It climbs continuously for 20 km without any real respite... With the end getting a bit tougher, especially mentally!

Octave Lapize, the first to climb it on a bike during the tour. Check out the history, it's unmissable.

Quite a difficult climb but it's quite easy to do (you might have to push the bike if you're not in good shape). Very pleasant descent, pleasant road and beautiful view.

Single track along the Gave de Pau river, a nice unpaved alternative to the voie verte that also runs through the valley.
