The Col de Peyresourde is a classic Pyrenees climb that links the valleys of Louron and Aure. Rising to 1,569 metres, it offers a steady, rhythmic climb with spectacular summit views.
A Historic Climb
The Peyresourde has featured in the Tour de France since 1910, making it one of the oldest cols in the race. It's often paired with the Aspin and Tourmalet in classic mountain stages, creating a trilogy of climbs that test every rider.
Both Approaches
The western approach from Armenteule is 8.3 km at 6.2% — a steady, enjoyable climb. The eastern side from Germ is 7.1 km at 7.8% — shorter but steeper. Both sides offer beautiful scenery and a satisfying summit with panoramic views of the surrounding peaks.
