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.

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.
