Reviewed By PSilva70 - Vienna, Austria

A true special Col in the French Pyrenees with great views over the peak mountains. We went by motorcycle and the D918 is a really good road to ride for us who love riding motorbikes.

Col du Pourtalet

Reviewed By Domkoppie - South Africa, null

Driving between Laruns and Pourtalet was one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. On the way to Col du Pourtalet, just outside Laruns in France, are the Gorges du Hourat, a very pretty piece of road through a narrow gorge, all along a river. It was raining softly, and everything was wet and green and beautiful. It was such a special little pass, which I cannot find on TripAdvisor to review. The road becomes the Col du Pourtalet, and then crosses over into Spain where the landscape opens up into vast spaces. The exciting thing for us in mid-May, as tourists from Africa, was the fact that it was snowing as we drove across Pourtalet. It was freezing, but so exciting. Even our cameras were too cold and eventually stopped working until we warmed them again. It is not a tight pass at all, no switch backs or scary drops to deal with, just long sweeps and extremely quiet. The river in the valley made it's way, tumbling and forming rapids below. It was quite different to all the passes we had seen on our trip thus far.
