CYCL 8 - MONTÉE DE SUPERBAGNÈRES DEPUIS LUCHON
Description
Average gradient: 6.3% – Maximum gradient: 10% – Summit altitude: 1,800 m.
Reserved for climbers, or at the very least for those who enjoy climbing… This climb, which will be tackled by the riders in the 2025 Tour de France, alternates between steep sections and gentle gradients. Do take care on the final kilometre, though – you’ll need to save some energy in the pedals – but the view from the summit at 1,800 m will be well worth the effort.
Head towards the southern exit of Luchon and take the D 125, which will take you to the Luchon-Superbagnères resort.

Detailed stages
1 - Head south of Luchon, following the thermal park.
2 - Leave the road to Spain on your left and continue straight ahead on the D 125.
4 - Your climb begins as soon as you leave Luchon.
During the climb, you’ll first pass the road leading to the Hospice de France on your left, and then the road heading towards the Lis Valley.
3 - The road is lovely and wide, and the first 10 kilometres to the Lys Valley alternate between gently rising sections and steeper stretches.
5 - After the junction with the Lys Valley, the gradient steepens; the final third is quite challenging. The gradients never fall below 7 per cent and are mostly between 8 and 11 per cent.
6 - The final stretch of the climb is characterised by wide hairpin bends offering a beautiful, unobstructed view.
