Climb Description
Col d'Ispeguy is a medium mountain climb in the Pyrenees, which straddles the border between France and Spain.The ascent from Saint-Etienne is (as the name suggests!) on the French side of the border, and is a very steady climb, with the gradient rarely deviating from around 6%. Despite its relatively low altitude, it boasts some impressive scenery, particularly on the upper slopes where the road runs alongside the mountain and gives panoramic views above the treeline.
Col d'Ispeguy is open throughout the year.
