A real pass, accessible, nice short but a lot of passage over 10％
Un vrai col, accessible, beau court mais beaucoup de passage à plus de 10％

The climb is on fairly nice roads with some nice turns and a fairly steady 8％. The road was very quiet and is wide enough for cars not to be an issue. It is a very pleasant climb of medium duration. There are no overly steep ramps or crazy switchbacks. The descent is equally pleasant with generally good sightlines.
The businesses at the top were all ski related and were closed.
We combined this with a trip from Argeles Gazost to Lac d'Estaing and the Col des Bordères. It made for a very nice day.
Little known, wrongly so. A small Pyrenean pass, little used, irregular and great fun!
Peu connu, à tort. Petit col pyrénéen, peu fréquenté, irrégulier et très ludique!
Verdient volgens mij iets meer dan 3 sterren dus bij deze. Erg mooie klim met mooie vergezichten, bijna geen wagens en goed wegdek. Boven kan je iets eten of iets drinken op een terras.
Wij hebben deze gedaan in een erg mooi lusje met oa. de klim naar Lac d'Estaing en dan de doorsteek via col des Borderes.
If you are staying in Aucun, at hotel " Le Picors ".... turn the corner, and straight into the thick of it. I first rode a bit towards Arren-Marsous as a warm-up. It's more of a climb and not a col, unless you're by mtb. Then you can continue via the forest behind to the col des Spandelles (+- 7 km). It is a spicy "runner" at times without being really tough, although you are almost constantly around 8 ％. Beautiful green surroundings with a view of the 2267 m high Pic du midi d' Arrens. The wide road consists of perfect tarmac and at the summit there should be the possibility of ravitas by now.
Als je in Aucun, in hotel " Le Picors " verblijft.... hoekje om, en direct de beuk er in. Ik reed toen eerst een stukje richting Arren-Marsous als opwarming. Het is eerder een klim en geen col, tenzij je met de mtb bent. Dan kan je via het achtergelegen bos doorsteken naar de col des Spandelles. (+- 7 km) Het is een bij momenten pittige "loper" zonder echt zwaar te zijn, al zit je toch bijna constant rond de 8 ％. Prachtig groene omgeving met zicht op de 2267 m hoge Pic du midi d' Arrens. De brede weg bestaat uit perfect asfalt en op de top zou er ondertussen mogelijkheid tot ravitaillering moeten zijn.
For Tour followers unknown perhaps, but for cycling fans highly recommended. Not as challenging as other climbs in the area, but a fine and beautifully situated climb. It is a not too busy, but wide and good road. A few parts are more vicious (especially halfway up the climb after passing a few farms), but these are also interspersed with moments to recover. This climb is certainly not as irregular as you sometimes encounter in this area. We climbed in fog and drizzle (as is often the case in this area), so I didn't see much of the view. I think it is an open climb, so probably with nice views of surrounding mountains.
Voor Tourvolgers onbekend misschien, maar voor wielerliefhebbers echt een aanrader. Niet zo uitdagend als andere beklimmingen in de buurt, wel een fijne en mooi gelegen klim. Het is een niet al te drukke, maar brede en goede weg. Een paar stukken zijn wat venijniger (met name halverwege de klim na het passeren van een paar boerderijen), maar deze worden ook afgewisseld met momenten om te herstellen. Deze klim is zeker niet zo onregelmatig als je soms wel tegenkomt in dit gebied. Wij deden de beklimmingen met mist en wat miezer (zoals wel vaker in dit gebied), dus van het uitzicht heb ik weinig gezien. Het is volgens mij wel een open klim, met dus waarschijnlijk mooie uitzichten op omliggende bergen.
