This French Pyrenean road cycling holiday has been carefully crafted so you can cycle the best cols and Tour de France stage endings that the Pyrenees have to offer. You'll experience quiet roads and you'll fall in love with the region's charming ambiance. This point-to-point Pyrenean cycling tour traverses the region from east to west, and you'll ride through quaint villages, rural countryside, ski resorts, and high pastures. The joy of this French cycling holiday, as with all of our Marmot Classic itineraries, is its flexibility. Using our in-depth knowledge of the Pyrenees, we've devised daily 'Classic' routes, which warm you up gently and get progressively tougher throughout the week, in preparation for your ascent of the Col du Tourmalet on the final day. Taken at a steady pace, the 'Classic' route is manageable and enjoyable for fit cyclists regardless of experience in the mountains - the toughest day (on the easiest route) involves 1,750m of ascent. However, this holiday also offers a fantastic challenge for those wanting to push themselves further. Each day optional extra climbs and loops increase the possible daily ascent to over 3,600m. This makes this tour the perfect choice for very fit cyclists who are regular cyclosportive entrants and/or who would consider undertaking a raid cycling challenge. Due to the variety of daily route options, this really is the perfect cycling holiday for mixed-ability pairs or groups of friends. With the exceptional support of two Marmot guides and customised support vehicles, it's our mission that every rider has an incredible cycling holiday and an unforgettable cycling experience.
