The Col des Palomières is a beautiful little climb at the bottom of the Tourmalet. In the forefront of the Pyrenees, there are many nice, short climbs to torture your legs on after a giant col. This hump of almost 5 kilometres long is not very steep, but very irregular. Almost the entire climb is in a forest, which makes this climb also suitable for the more hot days. The road surface is fine and you hardly see any traffic. Once you arrive at the top, you will be treated to a great view!... read more

Perfect pass for the start of the season when the giants are closed, but beware of its irregularity, which can give the impression of being stuck in the laces....

Col parfait pour le début de saison quand les géants sont fermés, attention néanmoins à son irrégularité qui peut donner l’impression d’être collé dans les lacets….

De Col des Palomières is een prachtig klimmetje onderaan de Tourmalet. In het voorgebied van de Pyreneeën heb je veel leuke, korte klimmetjes liggen om na een reuzencol je beetjes nog even op te pijnigen. Deze bult van bijna 5 kilometer lang is niet enorm steil, maar wel erg onregelmatig. Bijna de hele klim is in een bos, waardoor dit klimmetje ook geschikt is voor de meer hete dagen. Het wegdek is prima en verkeer zie je nauwelijks. Eenmaal boven aangekomen word je getrakteerd op een geweldig uitzicht!
