THE ROAD YOU WANT TO RIDE

Why we love the Pyrenees. Come see what makes this one of the premier cycling destinations on earth:
  •        The pristine countryside rivals the spectacular views that you get in the Alps, but with an entirely different feel
  •        The roads are quieter, the countryside more serene and the experience is somehow more simple, yet more rich at the same time
  •        The road surface is excellent,  but the routes are narrower and more twisty and you feel more like a part of the landscape
  •        The appeal of the food and the gentle warmth of the people raise the quality of the entire experience
  •        There are almost limitless climbs in every direction and the variety of routes on any given day is mind boggling
  •        It just feels like the kind of place that you were meant to explore on a bicycle. You can ride in a different direction every day   
               and just keep discovering.
  •        It's lush and green and quiet in all the right ways, like Sherwood forest, only no Robin Hood or green spandex.
  •       Monstrous climbs and scenic biways: Whether it's the Tourmalet or the Aubisque or some road to nowhere, you always have   
              options and a memorable ride whatever the level of challenge you seek.

             Come and see for yourself what makes this such a special place to ride your bike
