Nice rough climb from the bridge over Le Gave, along the hydroelectric power station, through the village Lescun and ending at the Refuge L' Aberouat. The climb gradually gets steeper, so don't start too fast. After Lescun you also get beautiful views on the surrounding mountains. Hopefully this will motivate you to reach the top, because the steepness of the road (17%) will try to hinder you to get there.

Mooie ruige klim vanaf de brug over Le Gave, langs de waterkrachtcentrale, door het dorpje Lescun en eindigend bij de Refuge L' Aberouat. De klim word geleidelijk steeds wat steiler, dus ga niet te snel van start. Na Lescun krijg je ook prachtige uitzichten op de omliggende bergen. Hopelijk motiveert je dit om de top te bereiken, want de steilheid van de weg (17%) zal proberen je te belemmeren er te komen.
