Discover some of Andorra’s most emblematic scenery on this five-stage road bike tour. Climb legendary mountain passes such as Coll de la Gallina, La collada de Beixalís or the mythical finish in Ordino Arcalís as you explore this small but significant country by road bike.
AWESOME ANDORRA AND HER LEGENDARY LANDSCAPES
Spend six days exploring Andorra and climbing some of the most impressive mountain passes in Europe, such as Coll de la Gallina, La collada de Beixalís or the mythical finish in Ordino Arcalís. You’ll follow in the tyre tracks of the pros and cover some of the same segments that feature in the Tour the France and La Vuelta a España.
But you’ll also be guided through some of the lesser known areas of the country and discover some no-less spectacular climbs through the charming Pyrenean countryside. Another unique feature of this tour is that you will complete a stage known as “The Three Nations” tour. This tour will take you through Andorra, Spain and France in one 100 km ride. It’s an impressive feat as you climb to an altitude of 2,400 metres!
In addition to the ascents and descents through incredible mountain passes, you will have the chance to discover this small country’s culture, such as its Romanesque churches, breath-taking vistas and traditional local cuisine. This is not a tour for the faint-hearted and at least an intermediate level of fitness and experience on the bike will be needed.

A climbing paradise and cycling's best-kept secret. Andorra is a popular destination for professional cycling teams, so why not add it to your list? Andorra is located in the heart of the Pyrenees, so going col hunting here is ideal. Many mountain passes have famous names and have been featured on Grand Tours. The Tour de France is famous for its "queen stages”, and the fate of the yellow jersey has been decided here far too many times!
Andorra has a typical mountain climate, with cold winters and mild summers. It is extremely dry and has numerous days of sunshine. Autumn is the wetter season, and winter brings snow, which is popular with skiers but difficult for cyclists. Pack your belongings in accordance with the season.
Mountains. Rough terrain with numerous climbs. It's no coincidence that this tour is called the Legendary Climbs Cycling Tour! Pass through narrow gorges and gaze out over breathtaking valleys – the Andorra terrain is mystical and enchanting, ideal for climbers.
The region of Andorra is heavily influenced by Roman culture. Catalan culture is distinct from the rest of Spain, and you will notice it. The mountains play an important role in the way of life. And, fortunately for us, cycling is a popular sport here.
Our first stage on Day 1 sets out directly from our hotel in the direction of Ordino Arcalís (it has featured as a legendary finish in the Tour de France on several occasions). Once we’ve reached the top, we will descend towards Ordino and continue towards Sant Julià de Lòria to climb the second mountain pass of the day, El Coll de la Peguera. Then, we’ll roll down the other side for a few kilometres until we reach our accommodation for the night, the Coma Bella Hotel. Relax in the swimming pool for the afternoon and enjoy the mountain views.
