Col de Labays from Lourdios, beautiful climb, certainly worthwhile in my opinion. In any case, if you like variety in landscape/view, the first part in a narrow valley with high imposing rock walls, and later through the woods further up.
Also in terms of gradient it is not boring for a moment. From the beginning, steep parts are alternated with flat ones, or down again, and then suddenly steep up again. Only the last 5 km are reasonably stable in terms of ％.
If you like a steady climb, this is definitely not the place to be.
The road surface is ok, it was reasonably quiet, only a handful of cyclists along the way.
The view of the col itself is nothing, you'd better cycle on to the col de Soudet (4 km further on) for the beautiful views.
Col de Labays vanuit Lourdios, mooie klim, zeker de moeite waard wat mij betreft. In ieder geval als je van afwisseling houdt qua landschap/uitzicht, het eerste stuk in een smalle vallei met hoge imponerende rotswanden, en later door de bossen verder omhoog.
Ook qua hellingspercentage wordt het geen moment saai. Vanaf het begin worden steile stukken afgewisseld door vlakke stukken, of weer omlaag, en dan ineens weer steil omhoog. Pas de laatste 5 km zijn redelijk stabiel qua ％.
Als je van een gelijkmatige klim houdt moet je hier in ieder geval niet zijn..
Wegdek is ok, het was verder redelijk rustig, een hand vol fietsers onderweg tegengekomen.
Het uitzicht op de col zelf stelt niets voor, je kan beter even doorfietsen naar de col de Soudet (4 km verder) voor de mooie views.
