Route N°10 - Col de Bast

Suitable for outings with friends, this circuit winds its way through the meanders of the Souletin hills through some intimate roads. A long and noticeable warm-up phase precedes the ascent to Col de Bast, which should not be taken lightly.

Suitable for outings with friends, this circuit winds its way through the meanders of the Souletin hills through some confidential roads. The astonishing plain of the first 19 km contrasts with the surrounding landscapes dotted with mounds and furrowed by gorges. In the end, the long warm-up phase is necessary to undertake the assault on Col de Bast. Hidden behind a first line of defence, this unknown col makes it difficult for the first km. What follows does not put it in the first category, but its quality landscape gives it more than one positive point. The descent to the land of the Musketeers can be the occasion of a refreshment that consists, among other things, of some pieces of Ossau-Iraty. A long straight line allows a playful return to the "plain" and an arrival at Oloron pedaling.
