This route links the village of Saint-Lary to the Col de Beyrède.
The Col de Beyrède (1417m) takes you from the Arreau valley to the Campan valley.
The Col de Beyrède is a forest pass where you will find a hotel near the summit. It is also a starting point for many hikes.
The course
Unknown pass ... A start that attacks strongly, from the village of Beyrède. Then, the slope is relatively gentle over 3 or 4 km, with even a ledge. It is then, when we arrive at the level of the 1st houses, the really serious things begin. 15%, on 2 occasions, a passage at 12%, and until the top, the slope only very rarely drops below 8%.
On arrival, a pass remained wild, calm, of incomparable charm. Tough, but worth it.
The other side, 2 forest roads (one which joins the Col d'Aspin road, and the other which goes down directly to Payolle) unpaved and quite damaged; the best is therefore to make the round trip from Sarrancolin.
