As the Col du Spandelles will be on the route of the Roue d’Or des Pyrénées sportive this May I have added a new page on the climb. The sportive will climb Col du Borderes and Col du Soulor before doing Spandelles from the steep side. It is the biggest climb in the Lavedan Valley outside the Pyrenees National Park that has not been used by Le Tour de France.
View the new page on Col du Spandelles.
