TOUR DE FRANCE EXPERIENCE
18 - 25 July 2027
SEE THE WORLD'S BIGGEST RACE & RIDE THE ROUTES!
This is the ultimate Tour de France experience! Watch the race from the roadside on multiple days, drink in the incredible atmosphere, and combine it with guided, supported rides on the same roads as the pros race. You receive a special souvenir jersey, too!
​
The 2027 Tour has three fantastic stages in our area (details below). You will see a sprint finish in Pau, the brutally hard 'Queen stage', and then the final climb of the whole race. These will be decisive stages for the jerseys and the podium and the atmosphere will be electric!
​
We will ride out together, stopping for lunch on the way, watch the race, and either ride back or jump in a vehicle depending on the day's stage.
​​
On the other riding days we will ride famous climbs and stage routes from this and previous Tours de France. You will be fully supported on the road, so all you need to carry is one bottle and your next homemade energy bar. Everything else you need will be in the follow car. The routes each day will have easier and harder options, depending on how your legs feel, and include Cols d’Aubisque and Soulor, Hautacam, Luz Ardiden, Col d’Aspin, Col du Tourmalet and more!
€3300 (7 nights, sharing twin room)

Stage 17: Muret - Pau
21 July 2026
TDF: ​186 km
Our ride:
92km, 1600m
Optional route:
151km, 2200m
This is your chance to see a sprint finish – you won't believe the speed!
​
This stage runs parallel to the Pyrenees from Lannemezan to Pau, which will host the Tour for the 77th time. It's the penultimate flat stage, so we're certain to see the world's best sprinters battle for the win.
​
We will ride out to Pau via the utterly spectacular Col du Soulor and Col d'Aubsique, then leave the bikes with the support car, change into soft shoes and walk to the race finish area to see the sprint. There will be big screens, too.
​​
After the finish, you can watch the podium presentations and get photos and autographs with riders (easier than you might think). Then we'll jump in the vehicles to take us back to base. Anyone who wants to can ride the 60km home with your guide pulling on the front of the paceline!
Stage 18: Pau - Col du Portet
22 July 2026
TDF: ​174 km
Our ride:
62km, 1700m
Optional ride:
88km, 2800m
Watch the world's best riders tackle the hardest stage of the race, with 5400m of climbing and the most famous mountain of all: the mighty Col du Tourmalet!
​​​
This stage begins in Pau, enters the Pyrenees over the Col du Soulor, then climbs the Col du Tourmalet and Hourquette d'Ancizan before a summit finish atop the fierce Col du Portet, which, at 2215m, is the highest point of the 2027 Tour and also the highest road in the French Pyrenees.
​
We'll ride out to climb Tourmalet a few hours ahead of the race, with thousands of spectators already lining the road, which is an unforgettable experience. We'll watch the race from near the summit. Once the road reopens, the options will be to ride back to the house or climb the beautiful Luz Ardiden.
Stage 19: Hasparren - Laruns
23 July 2026
TDF: ​160 km
Our ride:
84km, 1250m
This is the final mountain stage of the 2027 Tour de France and we have the opportunity to spectate and cheer ourselves hoarse on the last climb of the whole race, the savagely steep Col de Marie-Blanque, which averages 13% for the last 3km!
​
Whether or not the yellow jersey is still in play, there will be a lot to race for and that means you'll see the top riders going full gas on these wicked gradients.
​
In order to arrive in time to get onto Marie-Blanque before it's closed, we'll ride out on the beautiful rolling roads that skirt the mountains, then up the climb to get a great position. After the race, we'll roll down and jump in vehicles to drive back to the house in time for another fantastic dinner.

WHO IS THIS TRIP FOR?
This trip is designed for road cyclists who want to see the Tour de France live from the roadside and ride the same climbs and stage routes with the support of an expert guide and a follow car.
​
What sets this trip apart is the high level of both riding and spectating – you will be at the roadside for two spectacular stages and also get to ride lots on each of those days – and the degree of personalisation. Before your stay, we discuss your goals, fitness, and riding preferences, then design routes tailored to the group with options to suit each individual. 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 Tour de France guests value the opportunity to see the world's biggest race and soak up the atmosphere, and watch their favourite riders pass within touching distance. 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. A reasonable level of fitness is required. Riders should be confident to climb one big col per day.
From our perfectly located base near Argelès-Gazost 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.
