Beautiful village on your way up Peyresourde

At this bend, the trees disappear and the pastures spread out in their splendor. In the distance, you can see the top of the port. At its feet, a beautiful and quiet valley, which we have climbed from Ferrère. I was waiting for two straggling group members at this point. I enjoyed the views and the tranquility like a child.

I would just like to remember that Alejandro Valverde was the first rider at the top of this pass when the Tour crossed it for the first time in 2012, subsequently winning the stage that ended in Peryagudes.

Small and very pretty town at the foot of Port Balès. It is worth stopping at the town fountain to take a breather before the climb to Port de Balès.

The climb to Superbagnères was psychologically very difficult for me because it is covered by the valley and the trees that cover the road. It is a long climb, with very hard initial and final areas, and an intermediate area with some rest. My experience was very hard because of the intense heat and the long initial straights that the port has. The final part, in addition to being hard, is truly spectacular and the effort and suffering are worth it. The views from the ski resort are incredible!

A very pretty, very pleasant town, with all kinds of shops and restaurants, ideal for organizing a stage of several days to discover this part of the French Pyrenees.

Port de Balès is one of the great colossi of the Pyrenees, discovered for professional cycling in the 2012 Tour, crowned by Alejandro Valverde for the first time. The two times I have climbed it it has been on its northern slope, the longest and hardest, although the southern slope is also very hard. The northern slope begins with a very nice road that runs next to the river and goes up it at a very gentle rate. Starting from a bridge, where you leave the river on the left, the hard 11 km stretch to the top begins, although it is true that there are 2 stretches where the slope softens and allows you to take a break. The last 5 km have spectacular views of the valley and the surrounding peaks. At the top, the panoramic view of the Pyrenees is incredible.
