WHO IS THIS TRIP FOR?

Our self-guided cycling stays are designed for road cyclists of any experience level who want to ride the most famous Tour de France climbs in the Pyrenees, with personalised route planning and expert local support from a professionally catered lodge near Argelès-Gazost.

​

What sets our trips apart is the level of personalisation. Before your stay, we discuss your goals, fitness, and riding preferences, then design routes tailored specifically to you. During your trip, meals and ride snacks are adapted to your dietary needs and training load, and expert advice is available on pacing, nutrition, recovery, equipment choices, descending technique, and current road conditions.

Our self-guided guests value the freedom to ride independently combined with the reassurance of expert local knowledge. They range widely in age, experience and objectives – from riders in their 20s to their 70s, from those new to road cycling to lifelong riders, and from climbing your first ever mountain to completing epic rides of four cols in a day.


From our perfectly located base in the Pyrenees, riders can take on iconic Tour de France climbs such as the Col du Tourmalet, Col d’Aubisque, Col du Soulor, Hautacam, and Luz Ardiden.
