| Cycling in the Pyrénées | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
We are based at the foothills of the Pyrénées allowing the best of both worlds when it comes to cycling. We have endless rides through traffic free rolling countryside allowing the true experience of rural France. Alongside we have the famous climbs of the Tour De France that allow challenging rides and to experience what the pro cyclists do day after day on the tours. We have a range of cycling holidays that cater for all fitness levels and interests - from sight seeing rides with café stops to day long stages and many climbs.
There are also many cycling events throughout the year. These mostly consist of Cyclosportive events. These events are basically group rides taking in famous routes or climbs. The pace is set by the front runners but you can take it as easy as you want. These are always well organised events with many of the roads traffic free. There are many that go past our door and they are well worth a try, just to have the French cycling experience with roads well marshalled by the Gendarmerie and epic finishes on mountain top ski stations. |

Cols of the Pyrénées Below are some of the famous cols of the Pyrénées that are in easy reach from our base in Luscan. Many of the climbs are incorporated into our guided rides or into our suggested ride routes for those of you who choose the self guided option. Other cols and climbs can be ridden with a short minibus ride which we always offer to all those who stay with us. |

![]() Many of the cols are given categories within the Tour De France and from year to year these can change. Rating the Climbs of the Tour de France is a good explanation of how climbs are categorized and what you will be riding when you arrive here. Just click on the side you wish to climb from (see table below) and the profile will be shown. |
