Why Choose This Tour?

A beautiful riding challenge in the Pyrenees Mountains.
Comfortable pace with relaxing stopovers in hotels.
Support crew with water or hot drinks.
The perfect way to cycle the pyrenees and take in the spectacular views, smells and tastes of the mountains.
Your support crew Julie and Ian have run this tour 86 times in the past 20 years with Ian riding 28 of the Raid Pyrenean or Pyrenean Traverse tours.
Day 3 - Col Du Tourmalet (2115m) is last on the list and we will take our time climbing before hitting the summit and the famous café & shop where you can buy all the Tourmalet memorabilia before descending into St Marie de Campan and a well earned beer and rest.
The penultimate stage and it is a long one, with the first of three major climbs coming up after around 30km.
The Col de Marmare (1367m), a long but gentle climb through the trees followed by the Col des Sept Frères (1253m) soon after but a mere mole hill in comparison.
