Atlantic Pyrenees Tourmalet

The Pyrenees, a few romantic souls once called it paradise, and this is certainly true for cyclists and mountain bikers…

Jurançon

We will start at a gentle pace. After checking and adjusting the bicycles, we will set off on a journey through the Jurançon wine region. After the work-out, it might be the moment to explore the old centre of Pau : Le Boulevard des Pyrénées, the castle, nice shops, and restaurants serving delicious food…

Tourmalet


You will be able to stop at Lourdes or Pierrefitte-Nestalas. From there, we will travel along the Gorge de Luz to Luz-St-Sauveur, where we will start the 19 km ascent of the Tourmalet.

 

 

 

Pau - Oloron-Sainte-Marie - Biarritz
