Superb climb, the view of the mountains (Cirque de Lescun) is really beautiful. A tough climb (see the percentages) and ditto descent. Absolutely worth it! In Lescun the possibility to relax on a terrace.... read more

Superb climb, the view of the mountains (Cirque de Lescun) is really beautiful. A tough climb (see the percentages) and ditto descent. Absolutely worth it! In Lescun the possibility to relax on a terrace.

Schitterende klim, het uitzicht op de bergen (Cirque de Lescun) is werkelijk prachtig. Pittig klimmen (zie de percentages) en dito afdalen. Absoluut de moeite ! In Lescun de mogelijkheid om even bij te komen op terras.
