The Mur de Péguère (also known as the Col de Péguère) (elevation 1375 m) is a mountain pass in the French Pyrenees in the department of Ariège, between the communities of Massat (south) and Sentenac-de-Sérou (north).

Details of climb

From Massat, the climb initially follows the D618 towards the Col de Port before turning onto the D17 just after the Col des Caougnous. The total ascent is 9.8 km long, with a height gained of 726 m at an average gradient of 7.4%, with the section after the Col des Caougnous having stretches in excess of 18%.

From the Foix direction, the ascent starts at La Mouline (Serres-sur-Arget) from where the climb is 18 km, gaining 872 m, in height at an average gradient of 4.8%. The col can also be reached on the descent from the Col de Portel.

Tour de France

The pass was crossed in Stage 14 of the 2012 Tour de France from the Massat direction. The leader over the summit was French rider, Sandy Casar, although the stage was marred when tacks were thrown onto the road at the summit of the climb, causing as many as thirty riders to puncture.

In 1973, the summit was scheduled to be climbed from the Foix direction,

The col was also crossed on Stage 11 in 2008, on the descent from the Col de Portel, but was not categorised.
