Description

Let's say it without detours, the Méhatché pass is certainly one of the most difficult Pyrenean passes to climb by bike, if not one of the most difficult in France. Very often, the slope is in the range of 15 to 20% (certainly in a grandiose setting), too steep for the classic gear ratios of road bikes (a mountain bike will be better suited). Approached by the very short but formidable Légarré pass, the challenge is like a real "construction site", which must be tackled with excellent physical fitness and good preparation.
