About Col des Tentes via Gavarnie from Gèdre:
Col des Tentes is hidden gem protected by the world heritage status of Cirque de Gavarnie. Most cyclist en route between Col d’Aubisque and Col du Tourmalet misses this climb. But that is a big mistake. Due to the area's protective status, it has never been possible for the Tour de France to bring its entourage here and thereby bring ‘fame and glory’ to Col des Tentes. But where Col d’Aubisque and Col du Tourmalet wins on cycling history, Col des Tentes wins on remoteness, elevation, and lack of cars. The ride begins in the charming town Gèdre on a sunny day with perfect weather conditions. From here you have the perfect warm-up along the river ‘Gave de Gavarnie’. In front of you is one of the most jaw-dropping natural sites in the Pyrenees, Cirque de Gavarnie. Most cars stop in Gavarnie, so from here you have an almost car-free ride. As you climb the ride becomes more challenging and the scenery becomes more stunning. Sheep and cattle roam around, making this ride a pristine alpine experience and a true gem for those cyclists who prefer to ride with few car and world-class scenery.
