Overview

The TransPyrenees cycle tour will take riders on the ultimate traverse of the Pyrenees. Starting in Girona, we'll first enjoy the best of the local riding, including the spectacular Costa Brava stretch near Tossa de Mar. Then we'll head west on an incredible journey through Spain and France, culminating in the ascents of the iconic cols like Tourmalet and Aubisque. This ride will include all the classic cols of the Pyrenees that you'd expect, but many more too. This trip is long and challenging but offers excellent flexibility in each day in its route choice. As a result of this flexibility, this trip will be an amazing experience for a range of rider levels. The main prerequisites for the TransPyrenees are that you come prepared and are happy to ride for 5-6 hours each day.
