Epic Climb
Route des Lacs is one of the most spectacular cycling climbs that you will ever do. Bordering the Pyrenees National Park, the top of the climb is surrounded by several stunning lakes, which glisten delightful under the high mountain peaks which surround them. This protected status has prevented the Tour de France (and hefty following) from using the climb as a stage - but don’t let that put you off riding here. Route des Lacs is on the same mountain massif as the Col du Tourmalet and, if anything, it is even more visually impressive than its famous cousin. The road winds along a narrow gorge for the first part of the climb before reaching the first lake - Lac d’Orédon. From here the road splits - both ways are spectacular and we highly recommend doing them both if you have the time and energy.
