The Pyrenees are some of the most impressive mountains in the world, stretching from the Mediterranean Sea to the Bay of Biscay in Spain. Once you've been here, you'll want to come back again and again. The sharp peaks rise high into the clouds, forming a natural border between two countries. This mountain range reaches a staggering 3,404 metres in elevation, making it ideal for hill climb training.
Be well prepared for the seasons in the Pyrenees. The climate is mild, with summer highs reaching 15 degrees Celsius on the highest peaks. You will be exposed to typical mountain weather, with mostly sunny skies. Winter months can bring snow and temperatures close to zero degrees Celsius.
There's something for everyone here, with a mix of terrifying and inviting terrain. Take on the mountain's rugged terrain for a true test of your fitness and skills. After all, this is a tour of all the region's legendary climbs. Before your trip, make sure you get some training done.
The Pyrenees region of Spain has an incredibly rich culture. Catalan, the mother tongue of over 5 million people, is one of seven languages spoken in the area. The people are proud to share their history with visitors and tourists.
We’ll begin our most epic journey by exploring four Pyrenean valleys. We’ll start in La Vall d’Aran, then continue through La Vallée du Lys and La Vallée du Louron to La Vallée d’Aure. Three legendary mountain passes connect these valleys, making this stage an unforgettable day.
We’ll wake up in La Vall d’Aran, Catalonia’s highest and most difficult district to reach. We’ll leave the valley by riding up the category 1 climb Coll de Portilló, which, due to its location on the border between France and Spain, has appeared in numerous Tour de France and Vuelta a Espana editions.
Once in the La Vallée du Lys, we’ll visit the beautiful spa town of Bagnères-de-Luchon, which is popular with skiers in the winter and cyclists in the summer, and marks the start of the stage’s most difficult climb, the famous Peyresourde.
We’ll be ready for a break once we reach the picturesque Vallée du Louron and the magnificent Lac de Génos-Loudenvielle. We’ll take in the breathtaking scenery before tackling the day’s final mountain pass, Col d’Azet, which will bring us to the edge of La Vallée d’Aure. From the summit, we’ll have spectacular views of both valleys and Saint-Lary, our base camp for the next four days.
