PYRENEES TRAINING CAMP
Description
Over five days and four stages, we will ride through some of the most spectacular areas of the region, combining physical challenge, stunning scenery, and the satisfaction of experiencing cycling in a truly special way. Tourmalet, Aspin, Gavarnie, Soulor, Aubisque, Spandelles, Luz Ardiden, Cauterets, and Pont d’Espagne are just some of the legendary names that shape an experience created to enjoy the mountains, the group atmosphere, and everything that makes this destination unique.

Thanks to the camp logistics, the support vehicle, and the assistance provided throughout the entire route, it is an ideal experience both for riders already familiar with mountain climbs and for those looking to take their first step into this kind of adventure with safety, support, and peace of mind.
The trip includes accommodation at Hotel Tourmalet with half board in a shared double room, GPX routes for all stages, an accompanying guide, a support vehicle, on-route feed stations, mechanical assistance, secure bike storage, a participant welcome pack, a special celebration dinner on the final night, and travel insurance.
Everything is prepared so that you only have to focus on riding, enjoying the surroundings, and fully experiencing the trip.
