Quiet pasture pass beside the busier Col d'Aspin.
The Hourquette d'Ancizan reaches 1,564 m on the D113 between Ancizan in the Aure valley and the Payolle plateau near Campan in the Hautes-Pyrenees. A quieter alternative to the neighbouring Col d'Aspin, it winds through open grazing pasture and has featured in the Tour de France since 2011. Mind the open cattle and sheep on the road, narrow upper sections and winter closure.
