This cycle tour takes place in the Pyrénées.
The ride is a tough one designed for people
who enjoy a physical challenge. We follow a route named
The High Route of the Pyrénées
which climbs as many of the high peaks as you
can string together between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
|
 |
Ride all the famous climbs and cross from the Atlantic to the Med.
In contrast to the route of "The Raid Pyrénéan" which is a
famous ride all about getting from coast to coast quickly,
this ride takes it's time but includes much more climbing.

The ride starts from St Jean de Luz and finishes at Perpignan.
The coast to coast element runs from St Jean de Luz in the Basque Country
to Collioure in the Catalan region of France.
