Pic du Midi de Bigorre - Cycling Inspiration & Education

Forever peacefully watching over the legendary Col du Tourmalet, the ascent to the 2,877m summit of Pic du Midi de Bigorre in the French Pyrénées is a whole otherworldly experience. I’m often asked what my favourite climb is and, although that’s a question that deserves at least a six course meal to answer, this 6.6 kilometre section of gravel is (in my humble opinion) one of the most beautiful experiences one can have on a bike.
