A classic Pyrenean climb between Luchon and the Louron valley.
The D618 climbs the Col de Peyresourde between Bagnères-de-Luchon and the Louron valley, an open, much-raced Pyrenean pass of steady ramps and green high pasture, long familiar from the Tour de France. Mind the cyclists, the weather at the top, and ice in the colder months.
