Path through the Pyrenees

Have you ever dreamed of riding the legendary cols of the Tour de France? Of following in the tire tracks of champions, where every bend tells a story, and every summit rewards with both breathtaking views and a deep sense of triumph?

Welcome to Path Through the Pyrenees — a one-of-a-kind cycling retreat that takes you on an unforgettable journey through the iconic mountain passes and hidden gems of the French Pyrenees. This is more than a cycling trip — it's an immersive experience into the spirit, struggle, and splendor of the sport.

What Awaits You

Our retreat is designed for passionate cyclists who crave challenge, connection, and authenticity. Over the course of 7 incredible days, you'll ride the legendary climbs — conquering storied ascents like Col du Tourmalet, Col d’Aspin, and Hautacam, all regular fixtures of the Tour de France. You'll train like a pro but eat like a local, enjoying guided rides supported by experienced coaches, followed by rustic French meals, local wine, and recovery with a view. You'll explore hidden roads, balancing the epic with the intimate as we discover quiet backroads, charming villages, and moments of reflection in nature. You'll stay in mountain comfort, in accommodations that are cyclist-friendly and soul-soothing — think hot showers, hearty breakfasts, and panoramic views. Most of all, you'll build community. This retreat is about more than elevation gain. It’s about shared miles, evening laughter, and stories exchanged over espresso and croissants.

Who It's For

Whether you're training for your next Gran Fondo, ticking off a cycling bucket-list item, or simply chasing the thrill of mountain riding, Path Through the Pyrenees welcomes intermediate to advanced riders who want to challenge themselves in a supportive, inspiring environment.

Why the Pyrenees?

While the Alps often steal the spotlight, the Pyrenees are where the heart of the Tour de France beats loudest. Wild, rugged, and rich with cycling history, this range offers a raw, emotional riding experience — with fewer crowds and more soul. Here, you're not just watching the legends — you're becoming part of the story.

Path to Paris

For cyclists, there are few moments more iconic than the final stage of the Tour de France — the grand arrival into Paris after weeks of brutal climbs, heroic breakaways, and unforgettable displays of strength. Now imagine making that journey yourself — not as a spectator, but as a rider.

Path to Paris is your invitation to experience that epic ride. From the majestic peaks of the Alps to the romantic boulevards of Paris, this retreat is a celebration of endurance, freedom, and the pure joy of the open road. It's about riding with purpose — chasing the Tour’s spirit all the way to its historic finish line.

The Journey

This ride begins in the legendary Alps, where the air is thin and the climbs are steep. You'll ride through cycling’s most mythic terrain — past switchbacks, alpine lakes, and ridgelines that have tested generations of pros. Each day brings new challenges, new vistas, and new moments of triumph.

As we descend from the mountains, the landscape shifts. Rolling hills, sunflower fields, and vineyard-draped valleys lead the way north, as we trace a route that captures both the beauty and history of rural France. The rhythm of the ride becomes part pilgrimage, part celebration — a winding approach to the grand finale.

And then, there's Paris. The City of Light. You'll roll into the capital just as the Tour de France riders arrive, feeling the energy in the air, the roar of the crowds, and the sense that you've earned your place among the celebration.

What to Expect

This is not just a ride — it’s a story you’ll tell for the rest of your life. You’ll be supported by expert guides, a dedicated support vehicle, and a team that understands the rhythm of long-distance cycling. Your accommodations are carefully selected for comfort and local charm, your meals full of flavor and recovery power. Most importantly, you'll be riding alongside fellow cyclists who share your passion, your pace, and your dreams.

Who It’s For

Path to Paris is designed for intermediate to advanced cyclists who are ready to go the distance — not only physically, but emotionally. It’s for those who understand that cycling is as much about connection and discovery as it is about watts and cadence.

From the Mountains to the Magic

This is your chance to experience the Tour de France from the inside out. From the drama of the Alps to the majesty of the Champs-Élysées, you'll follow a path shaped by legends — and become part of it.
