Most memorably, was in 2003 when Armstrong crashed when he got a fans’ musette caught in his handle-bars. Discover the magic of Luz Ardiden as if you were there! I did enjoy the 180 degree hairpins, they give just a brief respite from the gradient – especially if you take them wide – they are also like a psychological target – they are more frequent than on the Tormalet. For a long time, the speedometer seemed to hover around 10-11mph (16-17mph) It was a big effort to try and keep it above 10mph all the time. Wind will be generally light. After his adversaries waited, he would storm on past them to win the stage … and the Tour. Soon I’ll do a post summarizing all the options from Luz-St-Saveur or Argèles (in the same valley). It was really hard doing another mountain climb, but also a really good experience. And near the summit I can’t remember what I thought!It’s a funny feeling trying to ‘race’ a climb when you’re already quite exhausted. Luz Ardiden is, without doubt, one of the most spectacular climbs in the Pyrenees. Like the previous day, there was this constant uncertainty about how hard to go – but you learn to let go and just get into a good rhythm.I did the climb in 43.29 an average speed of 11.2 mph (18 km/h). It made for some stunning views; I just regretted only having an iPhone 5 camera. Luz Ardiden is a small ski station in the Pyrenées that has hosted Most memorably, was in 2003 when Armstrong crashed when he got a fans’ musette caught in his handle-bars. If cycling uphill as quick as you can with tired legs is your idea of fun – this is as close to cycling heaven as it gets. Too many top class choices.

It is a favourite of cyclists due to its picturesque scenery and excellent location towering above the village of Luz Saint Sauveur. As well as miles in the legs, I don’t think I had quite properly rehydrated and refuelled from the previous day. But it is the last three kilometres where Luz Ardiden shines. Marvel at the col de Cloze, photos of Aulian and Béderet, the resort’s two skiing areas and the traditional village of Luz Saint Sauveur, a few kilometres away. I took the long gradual descent from Garvanie to Luz Saint Sauveur – and then up to the mountain top of Luz Ardiden.The weather was near perfect; with the morning sun burning away some low lying cloud.

See the most beautiful panoramic photos of Luz Ardiden ski resort. Though one man’s heaven can easily be another man’s hell…. Still the iPhone took some good very photos.It was a very quiet morning. But the last few kilometres and the great hairpin view from the top make this climb worth the effort. It was a pleasant surprise to realise climbing mountain passes day after day is not as impossible as you might think. It’s perhaps a good job I had a flight in the afternoon – otherwise I would have probably ended going up the Tormalet again.Today, I did a 25 mile flat recovery ride around Oxford to Ambrosden – it’s just not the same as the Pyrenees.The descent of Luz Ardiden was great. Miguel Indurain won in 1990 beating three times champion Greg Lemond – a rare occasion where he won a stage which was not a time-trial. I had nothing to lose but my self-respect. … The only person I saw was an old farmer getting his sheep ready to travel up the road. The Argeles-Gazost/Luz-Saint Sauveur area is one of the greatest climbing zones in the world, home to Tourmalet, Hautacam, Soulor, Aubisque and several more. It has been used eight times in total.
