So tough that the Tour de France riders branded the organisers 'assassins' and 'murderers' the first time the race went up it, the Col du Tourmalet is one of cycling's iconic climbs.
It's a tough climb but what really stands out are the views all the way up the climb. We'd recommend stopping to take a photo!
