The first stage between the Fuxéen country and Couserans will lead you to the ascent of the col de Port at 1250m. Then, the crossing of the Bethmale valley: you will discover rolling landscapes where pastoralism and cheese production thrive, before tackling the two sporting challenges of the route: the col de la Core culminating at 1395m and the col d'Agnes with, as a bonus, a superb view of the Valier.
The last section offers magnificent panoramas from the corniche road and a view of the famous Luzenac talc quarry, the largest open-air talc quarry, before facing the challenge of the day, the symbol of the quintessential cycling ascent: the plateau de Beille.
