This was my first ride on my road bike in the mountains (I am used to freeriding with my mountain bike). I know this road well because I live in the area and yet I feel like I discovered it from another angle. I loved it, this autumn climb is magical. A must do if you are passing through, the final climb after the lake of Orédon stings well but it is worth it 🤩. On the other hand, I don't agree with the difference in altitude indicated on the site, my gps and my girlfriend's gps announced 1480m of difference in altitude (different brands and models)
Ce fut ma première sortie avec mon vélo de route en montagne (habituée au freeride avec mon vtt). Je connais bien cette route puisque j'habite dans le coin et pourtant, j'ai l'impression de l'avoir découverte sous un autre angle. J'ai adoré, cette montée en automne est magique. A faire absolument si vous êtes de passage, la montée finale après le lac d'Orédon pique bien mais elle en vaut la peine 🤩. En revanche, pas d'accord avec le dénivelé indiqué sur le site, mon gps ainsi que celui de ma copine nous ont annoncé 1480m de dénivelé (marques et modèles différents)
Most beautiful climb in the Pyrenees. Beautiful long climb with just after halfway a short hairpin session.
View on the top is beautiful. Very busy with cars's who park themselves above for a walk.
Mooiste beklimming in de Pyreneeën. Prachtige lange klim met net na halverwege een korte haarspeldsessie.
Uitzicht op de top is prachtig. Wel heel druk met auto's die zichzelf boven parkeren voor een wandeling.
Lac d'Aubert and Lac d'Aumar are two adjacent lakes of the different which, like Lac de Cap de Long (see Climbfinder) are located in the nature reserve Néouville, and can be reached by bike.
Both routes initially start in St.Lary Soulan with a relative "warming up" run on a wide road following the river upstream. From the turnoff in Fabian the Route des Lacs becomes a narrow bumpy tarmac road and while climbing you can enjoy the waterfalls, flora and fauna. After 18 km and a series of hairpin bends you turn right (leaving Cap de Long route) downhill for a while over the narrow dam of Lac d'Orédon to after the toll point (car-péage) back firmly uphill cycling in a literally and figuratively breathtaking high mountain landscape of lakes located between forest and rocks (tree line 2000m.). Nowhere is the view disturbed by ski lifts, cable cars, crash barriers or buildings. The highest point (2200m) is passed by the lac d'Aumar and then you descend slightly to the end point at the lac d'Aubert, with a 360° panorama of natural beauty.
Supplies only in réfuge lac d'Orédon. Last part of the route there was a car ban between 9.30/18.30 hours,
there was only a bus every 30 minutes.
Perfect to combine with Cap de Long climb!
Hidden lesser known gem is a must for any mountain cyclist (bucket list!!!).
Let the Tour stay away from here so the anonymity is preserved as well as the unspoiled natural beauty of the area.
One of the most beautiful routes cycled so far.
Lac d'Aubert en Lac d'Aumar zijn twee naast elkaar liggende meren van de verschillende die, net zoals Lac de Cap de Long (zie Climbfinder) gelegen zijn in het natuurreservaat Néouville, en per fiets te bereiken zijn.
Beide aanvankelijk gelijklopende routes starten in St.Lary Soulan met een relatief "warming up" aanloop op brede weg stroomopwaarts de rivier volgend. Vanaf de afslag in Fabian wordt de "Route des Lacs" smal hobbelig asfalt en is het al klimmend genieten van watervallen , flora en fauna. Na 18 km en een reeks op elkaar gestapelde haarspeldbochten draai je rechts af (verlaten Cap de Long route) even bergaf over de smalle dam van Lac d'Orédon om na het tol punt (auto-péage) terug stevig bergop te fietsen in een letterlijk en figuurlijk adembenemend hooggebergte landschap van meren gelegen tussen woud en rotsen (boomgrens 2000m.). Nergens wordt het zicht verstoort door skiliften,kabelbanen,vangrails of gebouwen. Het hoogste punt (2200m) fiets je voorbij aan lac d'Aumar om dan licht dalend het eindpunt aan lac d'Aubert,met een 360° panorama van natuurpracht,te bereiken.
Bevoorrading alleen in réfuge lac d'Orédon. Laatste deel van de route was er een autoverbod tussen 9.30/18.30 uur,
er reed alleen een busje om de 30 minuten.
Perfect te combineren met Cap de Long klim!
Verborgen minder bekende parel is een must voor elke bergfietser (bucket list!!!).
Laat de Tour hier wegblijven zodat de anonimiteit bewaart blijft alsook de ongerepte natuurschoonheid van het gebied.
Een van de mooiste routes tot nu toe gefietst.
