A gentle, beautiful Pyrenean col through pine and pasture.
The D918 over the Col d'Aspin at 1,490 m links Arreau and Sainte-Marie-de-Campan, a gentler, greener Pyrenean climb than its neighbours, through pine forest into open pasture with views to the Pic du Midi. A Tour de France favourite; watch for the cattle and horses grazing the open road, and cyclists everywhere.
