Col d'Aubisque
A Tour de France mountain pass at 1,709 metres. A road carved into cliffs and free-roaming herds make for a spectacular scene. Ideal for driving.
The Col d'Aubisque links the Arrens valley with the Ossau valley. It is a regular fixture of the Tour de France, and a giant bicycle sculpture stands at the summit. The road from the Soulor pass to the Aubisque is carved into the cliffs of the Cirque du Litor, offering dramatic and spectacular scenery. Free-grazing horses, cattle and sheep often roam along the way. The road is closed in winter. The pass is about 35 km from Lourdes.
