My Pyrenees Highlights
- For me, the Aubisque marks the gateway to the Pyrénées, the moment you realise you’re riding into cycling history.
- The wild and beautiful Col de la Marie Blanque rises to 1,035 metres, a quiet mountain pass where cows, sheep and horses graze beneath circling Egyptian vultures.
- Luz Ardiden is steeped in drama as the pros battle their way to the summit, a winding climb of hairpins, open slopes and big mountain views that make every kilometre unforgettable.
This is a trip based in a single location

Pick accommodation in Argelès-Gazost, the perfect place to ride the major climbs of the Pyrenees.
I'd recommend hiring a road bike with disc brakes for those tehcnical Pyrenean descents.

My Recommended Itinerary
Day 1 - Arrive into Toulouse
Arrive into Toulouse and Love Velo will arrange a private airport transfer to the hotel. Check in, relax and enjoy the breathtaking Pyrenean views.
Day 2 - Hautacam
32km total distance
This is a great warm up to riding in the Pyrenees. The distance is short and the climb is on your doorstep. Hautacam may lack the length, height, or prestige of the Col du Tourmalet, but its deceptive nature can easily lull riders into a false sense of security on a first ascent. The climb is highly scenic, yet demands good bike handling, with several steep sections set within an otherwise steady, unrelenting gradient.
Distance: 32km
Ascent: 1,128mDay 3 - Col de Marie-Blanque, East side
125km total distance
It's a big day in the saddle riding from Argelès-Gazost but it's relatively downhill until the foot of the climb. The climb begins in the village of Bielle and is best known for its regular appearances in the Tour de France. The pass links the Aspe Valley with the Ossau Valley, and the French word “col” refers to a mountain pass, the natural saddle, or lowest point, between two valleys. This area is a true paradise for cycling, offering endless route options whatever your fitness level or preferred terrain. There is only one café stop along the route, so it is worth making use of it if you need to refuel. After having summited the Col de Marie-Blanque, very gentle incline leading you home can be tough.
Distance: 125km
Ascent: 1,200mDay 4 - Col d'Aubisque from Laruns
106km total distance
This classic Pyrenean ride combines two legendary Tour de France climbs, the Aubisque and the Soulor, with some of the most spectacular scenery in the range, including the breathtaking Cirque du Litor balcony road linking the two passes.
Distance: 106km
Ascent: 1,749mDay 5 - Departure
I think 4 nights is a great amount of time in the Pyrenees so today is check out day for your return airport transfer, or you can lengthen your stay for more adventure.

Love Velo's Reviews in the Pyrenees
Love Velo made a great recommendation of a hotel base for my cycle holiday in the Pyrenees. They were really helpful at all times, quick to respond and also shared some excellent routes on ride with gps that were challenging and accurate.

Awesome customer Service like it used to be. When planning my husband's 50th birthday and knowing very little about cycling I decided to try Love Velo and I can't recommend them, and the service I've received from James Danvers highly enough.

Eager to return to the Pyrenees, having gazed back at the snowy peaks as we cycled north in May this year, we sent an enquiry to Love Velo. Kevin's response and subsequent organisation of our short trip was friendly, helpful and very efficient. I have no hesitation in recommending this holiday. Superbe!
