I did this climb in combination with a tour through the valley of Lescun, very worthwhile because of all the beautiful views of the Pyrenees you get here as a gift. In the beginning a few km climb, and once you are on top of the plateau of Lhers it is a relaxed ride to the end. Total quietness further on, only one cyclist encountered.

I did this climb in combination with a tour through the valley of Lescun, very worthwhile because of all the beautiful views of the Pyrenees you get here as a gift. In the beginning a few km climb, and once you are on top of the plateau of Lhers it is a relaxed ride to the end. Total quietness further on, only one cyclist encountered.
The name 'Col de Mansalier' I can not place anyway, find this name nowhere outside / nor on the Internet. The end point is also not a col but the end of an asphalt road (small) that turns into a footpath further into the valley. There is a mountain top 'Sommet de Mansalier' in the neighbourhood.
Road in good condition, up to 2.5 km before the end, this last piece is in terms of asphalt not the best (see the 1st 2 photos's).

Deze klim heb ik gedaan in combinatie met een rondje door de vallei van Lescun, zeer de moeite waard vanwege alle prachtige uitzichten op de Pyreneeën die je hier kado krijgt. In het begin even paar km klimmen, en als je eenmaal boven op het plateau van Lhers bent is het ontspannen rijden naar het eindpunt. Totale rust verder, een enkele fietser tegengekomen.
De naam 'Col de Mansalier' kan ik overigens niet plaatsen, vond deze benaming nergens terug daarbuiten / noch op internet. Het eindpunt is ook geen col maar eind van een asfaltweg(getje) dat overgaat in een wandelpad verder de vallei in. Er ligt overigens wel een bergtop 'Sommet de Mansalier' in de buurt.
Wegdek in prima staat, tot 2,5 km voor het eind, dit laatste stuk is qua asfalt niet best (zie de 1e 2 foto's).
