Cycling routes
Hautes-Pyrenees
Planning a cycling trip to the Pyrenees? This is where legends are made. The same roads, views, and mountain air that have defined the Tour de France for over a century. When you ride here, you’re not just exploring new routes, you’re tracing the paths of the world’s greatest riders.
Our handpicked routes in the Hautes-Pyrenees are created and tested by local cyclists who know every climb, descent, and quiet back road in the region. Each route is designed to give you a true Pyrenean riding experience, whether you’re chasing famous Tour climbs such as Tourmalet, Aubisque, Hautacam, Luz Ardiden... or discovering the lesser-known gems that have never featured in the tour such as Cirque du Troumouse or the mighty Col des Tentes, which is even higher than Tourmalet.
Every route is available to purchase in-store as a collectible route sticker from our partner bike shops and accommodation providers. Pick up your stickers in-store and unlock routes with GPX files and detailed local advice complete with WCs, water, and crucial coffee stops.
