Access, Parking Grand Tourmalet/​Pic du Midi – La Mongie/​Barèges

A steep mountain road leads to La Mongie. IMPORTANT: the Col du Tourmalet pass road between La Mongie 1.800 m and Tournaboup 1.450 m/Barèges is closed in the winter. A ski slope leads along this pass in the winter and crosses it at the highest point. The French A64 La Pyrénéenne is about 40 km away from the resort.
