The Col de Portet is a mountain pass in the French Pyrenees in the department of Hautes-Pyrénées and the Occitanie region.
The eastern side of the pass is located in the heart of the skiing area above Saint-Lary-Soulan, and is the winter home of the snowpark of the resort.
In summer, it is one of the gateways to the Néouvielle massif and the Pyrénées National Park for hikers.
An attempt to reach the Col de Portet had already been considered by the city of Saint-Lary-Soulan for the 1982 Tour de France,[2] after several arrivals at the Pla d'Adet ski station.
[6] The Col was also featured in the 2021 Tour de France, again as the finish of Stage 17.
