Loops

This Loop is designed to take you somewhere new and give you some good, Tour-style climbing without necessarily the non-stop, super-long climbs of the Alps or Pyrenees. Total ascent on one or two of this Loop’s stages can easily reach 3,500 (as opposed to the 4,500 or 5,000 in the high mountains) but the climbing […]

Overflowing with big names (always a few of these: Alpe d’Huez, Aspin, Aubisque, Galibier, Izoard, Madeleine, Tourmalet, Ventoux) as well as some new, exciting, lesser known and equally spectacular climbs, the Tour de France mountains and this Loop especially, is definitely cycling value for money!

The Tour de France is a perfect excuse to explore the Pyrenees. We shorten each stage but if you’re feeling good, you’re welcome to cycle full stages – just let us know the night before. To have a flatter stage sandwiched between two big Pyrenean stages is a very rare treat – especially when the
