Le col de la Pierre-Saint-Martin depuis Licq-Athérey

Following the last storm at the beginning of March, trees may have fallen on the hiking trails.

Climbing the col de la Pierre-Saint-Martin from Licq-Athérey is quite an undertaking. To pass from the deep valleys to the windy crests, the road is long and especially very difficult for the conquerors on two wheels. If the first part is rather contemplative, the portion between Sainte-Engrâce and the Soudet pass is formidable, since you gain 900 m of difference in altitude in 11 km, with long passages at more than 12%. A real challenge that could be classified as hors catégorie, rewarded by the views of the final stretch.
