Take the D29 at Baudéan, heading for "Chiroulet " then at la Violette turn right "chemin de la glaire". The road rises steeply for 5km. The road is in good condition as you pass through the hamlet, but deteriorates as soon as you enter the Couret forest road. Water drainage gullies, holes, bumps, gullies, sometimes without tarmac ... You have to slalom and you can't speed downhill. At the top you can continue towards Bagnères-de-Bigorre or Labassère-Soulagnets.... read more

Prendre la D29 à Baudéan, direction "Chiroulet " puis au lieu-dit la Violette prendre à droite "chemin de la glaire". La route s'élève fortement pendant 5km . Celle-ci est en bon état pendant la traversée du hameau , mais dès que l'on entre sur la route forestière du Couret elle se degrade . Rigoles d'évacuation d'eau, trous , bosses , ravines,parfois sans goudron ... Il faut slalomer et on ne peut pas prendre de vitesse en descente. Délicat en VTC ( pneu en 28 ).Au sommet possibilité de continuer vers Bagnères-de-Bigorre ou Labassère- Soulagnets.
