INTRO
Peyragudes is accessed via the Col de Peyresourde (D618). A right turn a couple of kilometers below the col from the western (Avajan) side takes you up to the ski station. The steepest parts of the listed climb are after turning off the D618 so it is worth the deviation from the Col de Peyresourde.
This climb will be in Stage 17 of this year's 2022 Tour de France
