Nice short col in the vallee d'Aspe, not known, and therefore very quiet, a single car driver encountered, and no other cyclists seen.

Nice short col in the vallee d'Aspe, not known, and therefore very quiet, a single car driver encountered, and no other cyclists seen. Continuous nice climb, with as reward a beautiful view on the col on the mountain landscape behind.
Good road surface! Easy to combine with the col de Marie Blanque on the other side in the valley.

Leuke hidden gem. Prachtig in de ochtend met mist. Je bent compleet alleen met 20 loslopende paarden op de col. Alles onder de 10 pct voelt als een verademing helaas zijn dat maar 2 momentjes.
