What you can expect

Meet at one of the legendary passes of the Tour de France: the Col du Tourmalet. A quick coffee at Chez Octave, and then it's off for a long, beautiful day on the trails. A bit of climbing to begin with, as we make our way towards Pic du Midi de Bigorre, along a beautiful, wide trail in a stunning setting to get the day off to a great start.

The day's first descent takes place under the watchful eye of the Pic du Midi de Bigorre. You can choose between a mountain trail for the more experienced or a descent along a wide path for the more cautious. Whichever route you choose, the scenery will be spectacular! We will gradually leave this rocky environment behind and head for the alpine pastures.

On the way down, we will encounter vast forests with numerous trails for all skill levels, some of which are specifically designed for mountain biking. There are a few short climbs you can take to reach the most beautiful descents in the valley.
With stunning viewpoints along the way, the spectacle is far from over!

We descend to the village of Luz-Saint-Sauveur, nestled in the heart of the mountains. Welcome to the Toy region! We can now enjoy the sunny terraces to end this beautiful day in style.
