Transiting from Escot, at the foot of the Col de Marie-Blanque, Issoir, Gourette up to the locality of La Mouline. Here begins the final climb, the first two kilometers are quite challenging, the next 4 fairly easy to then face the hard central part of the climb. We pass Col de Labays, the road flattens a bit up to the Col de Soudet where we meet new challengin ramps. We arrive to the ski resort where the stage of the Tour ends but we go on to the Col de la Pierre St Martin, we enter Spanish territory for a brief overview of the beautiful peaks and walk down the few kilometers that take us back to the Col de Labays where we conclude our training.
