Little traffic after the turn-off where the climb really starts. Largely in the shade Nice to combine with Agnes and Col de Port without immediately turning into a monster ride... read more

Done in fairly bad weather, the Port de Lers is a fairly classic Pyrenean pass. A fairly narrow road with very little traffic, pleasant scenery and moderate difficulty. A must-do if you're in the area (the Ariege peaks are nearby).

Fait sous un temps assez mauvais, le port de Lers est un col Pyrénéen assez classique. Une route plutôt étroite avec très peu de circulation, des paysages sympathiques, et une difficulté modéré. à faire si vous passez dans le coin. (Les sommets ariégeois sont à proximité)

The road is in good condition and narrows a few km in, leaving enough space for one car and a bike. The climb is largely in the shade, but opens up slightly before the top, presenting you with awesome views.

Weinig verkeer na de afslag waar de klim echt begint. Grootste deel in de schaduw
Leuk te combineren met Agnes en Col de Port zonder direct in een monsterrit te worden
