Not a spectacular col, this col BugalAran, but how pleasant it is to cycle in the hills of the Basque country and le Bearn. Peace and quiet, little traffic/tourism, picturesque villages in typical Basque style, no punishment to make some metres here. I did the col from Oloron st Marie -> Esquiule -> Barcus -> the col -> Aramits -> Oloron. On the col itself, there is little to experience and see.

Not a spectacular col, this col BugalAran, but how pleasant it is to cycle in the hills of the Basque country and le Bearn. Peace and quiet, little traffic/tourism, picturesque villages in typical Basque style, no punishment to make some metres here. I did the col from Oloron st Marie -> Esquiule -> Barcus -> the col -> Aramits -> Oloron.
On the col itself, there is little to experience and see. Recommended to go up via Barcus, and down on the other side. Up was quite irregular, from flat to very steep, cluttered and road surface narrow and not always great, while the descent was a lot clearer with a good road surface.
If you're here for the well-known cols (Pierre st Martin, Larrau, Hourcere), you can take this one to ride in just fine.

Geen spectaculaire col, deze col BugalAran, maar wat is het prettig fietsen in de heuvels van het baskenland en le Bearn. Rust, weinig verkeer/toerisme, pittoreske dorpjes in typisch Baskische stijl, geen straf om hier wat meters te maken. Ik deed de col vanuit Oloron st Marie -> Esquiule -> Barcus -> de col -> Aramits -> Oloron.
Op de col zelf weinig te beleven en te zien. Aan te raden om via Barcus omhoog te gaan, en aan de andere kant naar beneden. Omhoog was behoorlijk onregelmatig, van vlak tot erg steil, onoverzichtelijk en wegdek smal en niet altijd geweldig, terwijl de afdaling een stuk overzichtelijker was met een goed wegdek.
Als je hier bent voor de bekende cols (Pierre st Martin, Larrau, Hourcere), dan kan je deze prima pakken om in te rijden.
