WHY CHOOSE US
Your experience is everything to us, and we do all we can to make your stay truly memorable. We love this region and we love sharing it with our guests.
​
Our location is right at the heart of the Pyrenees, in Villelongue, close to the Col du Tourmalet, Col du Soulor, Col d'Aubisque, Hautacam, Luz Ardiden and many more. We're just 6km from the well known town of Argelès-Gazost and 15km south of Lourdes, giving you the very best base for cycling the most famous climbs the Pyrenees has to offer. Check out the amazing possibilities below.
​
On our cycling tours you will be guided and fully supported, or stay with us any other time and explore the mountains for yourselves on a self-guided cycling holiday. Either way, you will enjoy delicious, healthy food prepared just for you.
​
We’re expert riders and we can advise you on all aspects of your preparation ahead of and during your stay. Whatever your level of experience or fitness, a holiday with us will be a dream mountain experience.
We have five spacious and comfortable guest suites available, all with en-suite bathrooms, twin/double switchable beds, and stunning mountain views. Two rooms include a sofa-bed and can sleep three adults or two adults and two children – ideal for families or big groups. All of our guests say the beds are fabulously comfortable.
OUR FOOD
Enjoy fantastic meals prepared by our professional chef. We’re passionate about great food, with as much as possible sourced locally and every meal nutritionally balanced for a challenging week of riding. Many guests say the food is as special as the rides!
All requirements and preferences can be catered for; whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, or simply really hungry after a big day in the mountains, let us know and we’ll do the rest.

GUIDED CYCLING HOLIDAYS IN THE PYRENEES
There is no better way to experience the stunning Pyrenees than on one of our guided tours because the benefits go way beyond navigation. Your guide will capture fantastic photos of you riding, share the history of the climbs from the Tour de France, give encouragement and advice on everything from pacing to nutrition to riding technique, and be ready to adapt the routes to the group's needs. The support car will always be close by with food, drink, tools and spare clothing, so you can ride light with just one bottle and empty pockets, yet have everything you might need available. It's the very best of cycling.
SELF-GUIDED CYCLING HOLIDAYS IN THE PYRENEES
Discover these incredible mountains on your own terms when you stay with us for a self-guided cycling trip, always with loads of support from us to ensure you have the most amazing time. We help you plan your rides to suit you, share tons of local knowledge about things like water points and cafes, and provide you with routes as GPX files. We have over 100 routes ready to share and we're very happy to custom-make them for you, too.
​
Your stay will be fully catered with a three-course dinner by our professional chef, a fantastic breakfast, and homemade ride snacks to take out with you.
