Col d'Aspin from Arreau by Moto 🇫🇷

Col d'Aspin (elevation 1,489 m) is a mountain pass in the French Pyrenees in the department of the Hautes-Pyrénées. It connects Sainte-Marie-de-Campan, in the upper Adour valley, with Arreau, on the River Neste. From Arreau (east), the climb is more difficult; over 12.0 km the climb averages 6.5%, gaining 779 m in height. The road to the summit is paved, it’s called D918; a typically slow French mountain road, not the best for sporty drives but splendid for the laid back touristical bike trip. The pass has been part of the Tour de France numerous times, largely because it is the middle link in a chain of three road climbs, the other links being the Col du Tourmalet (2,115 m) and Col de Peyresourde (1,569 m).
