About the road

The west side of the Tourmalet: from Luz-Saint-Sauveur up the valley of the Bastan, through Barèges, and on above the trees to the pass, where the statue of the Géant du Tourmalet stands.

The Tour de France has crossed it more often than any other pass, usually from this side or from La Mongie on the other.

Also known as Tourmalet from Luz-Saint-Sauveur, the D918, the Tourmalet west side.

How to ride it on your trainer

  1. Open longvoie in Chrome or Edge on a laptop or desktop. It is free: an email and a code to sign in, no password, no card.
  2. Connect your trainer: any smart trainer that speaks FTMS (Wahoo, Tacx, Elite…), or a power meter, and a heart-rate strap if you have one. No trainer yet? Ride on the keys.
  3. Pick Col du Tourmalet. longvoie sets your trainer's resistance as the road climbs and eases it as it falls, and you ride it in 3D, on the real street.
  4. Stop whenever you like. Your next ride starts from the metre you stopped at.
