Free access
Access is free and open to all, with no registration and no fixed start time. Climbs are at the cyclist’s own discretion, at their own pace and without timing. Each cyclist chooses his or her pass(es) and makes the ascent at his or her own pace, without timing or group starts.

COL DU PORTET, COL D'ASPINToday, two passes, two “masters” of the Vallée d’Aure, are reserved for cyclists from 9am to 12pm. First up is the Col du Portet, already a Tour legend in 2018 and 2021. Next up is the Col d’Aspin, where traffic is restricted on both sides and which was the first pass on the first Pyrenean stage of the 2022 Tour.
After an ascent with a balcony overlooking the valleys, you switch to the territory of the Grand Tourmalet, and the Pic du Midi imposes itself on the landscape! You’ll love pedalling up to this giant.

COL DU TOURMALET, ASCENT TO LUZ ARDIDENThe day’s programme includes nothing less than the final fifty kilometres of the stage between Pau and Luz Ardiden. In 2021, the Col du Tourmalet and the ascent to Luz Ardiden will have seen the riders pass through for a final battle in the mountains.
Emblematic of the Pyrenees and a Tour de France legend, the Tourmalet is the Tour de France’s most climbed pass. Now it’s your turn to take centre stage and savour this exceptional route!
