Found in the heart of the skiing area above Saint-Lary-Soulan, the upper section is closed during the winter (Col de Portet is open from June to October), but half is accessible even during winter months, as the first 8km take you to the ski station at Espiaube.
The road from Saint-Lary-Soulan is dramatic. Rising above the town on the shoulder of the opposing mountain makes for great views from the start. Past Soulan (a pretty hamlet with traditional buildings) until you reach the ski station. From here you start a sublime section of the road, where we saw no one, even in the height of the summer. 6 glorious Hairpin bends are cut into the rock, rising you upwards to a plateau section flowing around some farmsteads. The road was covered in rock fall and scree making the climb feel even more rugged/special and when you reach 15km (1km) a tunnel dripping with water from the snow was still present. A final glorious, exposed hairpin with snow banks to take you to the Col itself.
Rugged, quiet, hairpins, epic views and a tough climb. What more could you want?
Stats: 1381m of ascent in 16.1km. Average gradient of 8.6%. Elevation: 2,215 m (7,267 ft) Hairpins: 15
