Col de portet

phippss

I have been looking a climbing the col de portet in the pyrenees as it has been paved for the tour. How long is the tunnel near the top. Is it one where you can see light at the end or will it require lights. Thanks

Just found this:

Un tunnel assez sombre est situé à l'entrée du dernier kilomètre, attention aux brebis qui cherchent de l'ombre dedans.

"There's a dark tunnel at the start of the last kilometre - watch out for the goats which search for the shade inside."
