Col de Marie Blanque

A pass with an emblematic name (a large bird of prey that you may be lucky enough to see) and with an equally emblematic profile: a warm-up for the first 2 kilometres then the next three raise the pressure (5% to 7%) and the challenge comes with 10 then 12%, then 14%.

A pass with an emblematic name (a large bird of prey that you might be lucky enough to see)

and with a profile just as emblematic: a warm-up on the first 2 km

then the next three climb the pressure (5% to 7%) and the challenge arrives with 10 then 12%.

Be careful, the higher you go, the more the slope rises to finish at 14%!



How to get there

From Pau, go to Oloron Ste Marie. Continue on the N134 towards Spain (Somport pass and tunnel), cross Asasp keeping to the N134 and after 7 km, turn left to reach the village of Escot with parking on the left near the D238 and D294 crossroads.
