Gapped Pyrenees, 10/08 - 14/08 - £380

Embark on an exhilarating 5-day adventure with us as we traverse the majestic Pyrenees, immersing ourselves in the awe-inspiring landscapes and conquering legendary ascents made famous by the Tour de France!


Every day presents a thrilling choice between two routes: one meandering through picturesque valleys, revealing the charm of quaint villages, and the other challenging the heights of the Pyrenean peaks, offering breathtaking vistas and heart-pounding climbs.


As the sun sets, our exploration extends beyond the cycling routes. In our well-equipped hire car, we'll venture into the enchanting Pyrenean towns, such as the historic Pau and the vibrant Tarbes, savoring the local culture and relishing the panoramic views that make this region truly unforgettable. Join us for a journey where every turn promises not only cycling triumphs but also a feast for the senses with the stunning backdrop of the Pyrenean landscape.
