Leave the D407 towards Orincle on your right and off you go for a short but challenging climb, much used in the Tour de France from Pau and Lourdes towards the Haute Bigorre and Vallée d'Aure. Very busy. Lovely views towards the Pyrenees.

One of two alternatives - actually, you can spend a whole day climbing and descending between these small villages in the area - to go from Bagnères-de-Bigorre to Lourdes (and beyond, to Argèles-Gazost for example). A bit more travel, but still a nice route, also in the opposite direction. There's another not listed short climb after this one.
