Le depart puis les traversées de Ferrières, d 'Arbéost permettent de se chauffer les jambes .A l'ombre des collines environnantes. Ensuite ça monte fort entre 7 et 10% jusqu'au col.On aperçoit le cirque du Litor en approchant du sommet ,les 4 derniers km sont magiques avec la route à flanc de falaise et proche d'un à pic.
A mountain pass linking the Aubisque, 7 km at an average gradient of 8.5 per cent. Very demanding but highly recommended.
Puerto que enlaza el Aubisque, 7km al 8,5%. Muy exigente pero totalmente recomendable.
One of the 3 access routes to the Col du Soulor, always a magnificent panorama. Little used, except by cows on the last few kilometres.
Un des 3 accès au col du Soulor, panorama toujours somptueux. Peu fréquenté, hormis par les vaches sur les derniers km.
Do people even live there? The quietest climb I ever did. Was heading for the Aubisque without having focused on the Col du Soulor. A lovely climb with the occasional traditional village. The peace and quiet struck me right away. Only 5 cars've overtaken me. The scenery is beautiful and with many views. The summit is less spectacular. There was work going on at the Aubisque, so the passage was blocked. Inform yourself well in advance. I was in the area so I was not disappointed. Asphalt is good and the descent a delight.
Wonen daar wel mensen? De rustigste klim die ik ooit deed. Was op weg naar de Aubisque zonder me op de Col du Soulor gericht te hebben. Een heerlijke klim met af en toe een traditioneel dorpje. De rust en stilte vallen gelijk op. Slechts 5 auto's hebben me ingehaald. De omgeving is prachtig en met vele vergezichten. De top is minder spectaculair. Er werd gewerkt bij de Aubisque en de doorgang was dus verspert. Informeer je goed van te voren. Ik was in de buurt waardoor ik niet teleurgesteld was. Asfalt is goed en de afdaling een genot.
Demanding climb, for a sixty year old, especially at the 7th and 8th kms and at the 11th.
Magnificent view of the cirque du Litor.
Serves as a footpath to the Aubisque pass, which is much easier to access than via Laruns.
Montée exigeante, pour un sexagénaire, surtout aux 7 et 8ème kms ainsi qu'au 11ème.
Magnifique vue sur le cirque du Litor.
Sert de marche pied pour le col de l'Aubisque, accès bien plus facile que par Laruns.
Difficult climb from Ferrières,
generally quite regular. Very pleasant in its quiet part at the beginning, as well as being pretty.
51'29" from Arbeost.
Montée difficile à partir de Ferrières,
globalement assez régulière. Très agréable dans sa partie tranquille du début, en plus d'être jolie.
51'29" depuis Arbeost.
