View of Pic du Midi

Highlight • Viewpoint

The end of the long straight 1 km from La Mongie offers a superb reward when the Pic de Midi finally appears. Nearby a view of the valley... double reward!

Mythical pass of the Pyrenees, impossible to come and not climb it. But prepare your most beautiful smile because photographers are present to immortalize everything ;)

This is the statue of Octave Lapize, who shouted "murderers" but who was the first runner to reach the top in 1910 after walking most of the ascent.

October 3, 2024,Radtour zum Col du Tourmalet
After rain comes sunshine. So we quickly got on our bikes and conquered the Col du Tourmalet. The 30km descent was lousy cold: 9 degrees🥶, felt like 3 degrees. But the views were magnificent.

May 17, 2023,COL DU TOURMALET
Hi friends this morning the ascent of a monument of cycling the TOURMALET by Saint marie de campan with the statue of EUGÈNE CHRISTOPHE, from there 17kms separates us from the summit but from Bagnères-de-Bigorre it's 30kms, a beautiful and long Ascension with the snow-capped peaks and the view of the Pic du Midi, the end is not easy but …

Relentless ascent even if the slope softens on some portions
The arrival on Mongie is quite steep (at the level of the avalanches above the road)
The village is very ugly, and particularly the exit with this hideous bar on the left on the way up.
Fortunately the end of the climb is superb in the middle of the mountain

At the summit of the giant slalom, it's quite cold. I quickly descend to Sainte-Marie de Campan to see the riders at the start of the Col d'Aspin. The rain sets in.
The climb up the Col du Tourmalet is calmer and cooler.
