A great climb from Foix.
Good surface and little traffic.
Sublime scenery, a balcony overlooking the Ariege valley.
You have to climb up to the end of the Touron, which is the end of the tarmac.

Nice and pleasant climb
5 km at 8 and 9 with some steepness on 10 to 11 but short then the rest is a good climb with a beautiful sun
If you are passing by, a small detour is necessary

Belle montée agréable
5 km a 8 et 9 avec quelque raideur sur 10 a 11 mais courte puis le reste ce monte bien avec un beau soleil
Si vous passez par là un petit detour s impose
