2 passes (Hourataté and Labays) offering magnificent scenery, especially Hourataté, in a wilderness! The gradients are tough with occasional 15％ walls, but as with all the passes in the region ^^ Just a small downside for me, on the day of my climb, the Col de Labays was entirely gravelled, but without any sweeping and so there were huge mounds of gravel on the edge and middle of the road, extremely dangerous!

2 cols (Hourataté et Labays) qui offrent des paysages magnifiques, surtout Hourataté, dans une nature sauvage ! Les pourcentages sont costauds avec parfois des murs à 15％, mais comme dans tous les cols de la région ^^
Juste un petit bémol pour moi, le jour de mon ascension, le Col de Labays était entièrement gravillonné, mais sans aucun balayage et il y avait donc d'énormes monticules de gravillons sur le bord et le milieu de la route, extrêmement dangereux ! Surtout sur une route aussi peu large. Donc si vous voyez un panneau "Gravillons" serrez les fesses et priez car ils ne semblent pas savoir gravillonner dans la région ...
