Le Col d'Aspin

Your first big ride in the Pyrenees and we’ve picked the legendary Tour de France climb, the stunning Col d’Aspin, as your first test. The Aspin was the favorite climb of Thomson Bike Tours co-founder, the late Paul Rogen – and Paul never missed an opportunity to ride this climb whenever he left his home in Connecticut for a trip in the Pyrenees!

You’ll ride from the hotel and enjoy a 15km warm-up before reaching the town of Arreau where you’ll start the climb to the Aspin. Enjoy the ride and don’t forget to stop along the way to marvel at the highest peaks in the Pyrenees off to your left as you’re climbing!

Port de Balès (Chaingate)

First big ride in the Pyrenees and we kick things off with one of our favorite Pyreneeen climbs. The Port de Bales was first introduced to the Tour de France in 2007 when a gravel forestry trail was asphalted allowing a connection between two valleys. It’s probably best remembered for the “chaingate” incident in 2010 when Alberto Contador attacked Andy Schleck after Andy had dropped his chain.

Stunning scenery, no traffic, great pavement, fantastic views from the summit, and on a par with the Tourmalet in terms of difficulty all combine to make the Port de Bales one of our all-time favorite climbs. It’s a long ride so our staff will advance you 50km in the vans, to the village of St Bertrand de Comminges. From St Bertrand you’ll have a 10km warm-up before reaching Mauleon-Barousse and the start of the climb. From the summit, enjoy the great descent before the final climb of your trip, the iconic Col de Peyresourde.

From the summit, enjoy the great descent before the final climb of the day, the iconic Col de Peyresourde.

Ainsa visit

Our hotel in St Lary is very close to Spain and today we’ve organised a day-trip over the border into Spain to visit the beautiful town of Ainsa. Sitting on a hill-top above the new town, the medieval town is a real gem to visit. Enjoy tapas and a glass of wine in the Plaza Major which dates back to the 12th century, then discover Ainsa’s narrow medieval streets on a walk around the old town.

The Tourmalet

Today’s your chance to ride the most famous of all Pyreneen climbs – the legendary Col du Tourmalet.

After breakfast you’ll jump in one of our support vans for a short, 30-minute transfer to the Hourquette d’Ancizan where you’ll start the ride. The descent through the vast prairies that surround the Hourquette is one of the prettiest rides in the Pyrenees. The village of Sainte Marie de Campan signals the start of the climb to the Tourmalet. The summit lies 17km ahead at an altitude of 2115m. Bon courage!

The Tourmalet

Today’s your chance to ride the most famous of all Pyreneen climbs – the legendary Col du Tourmalet.

Setting out from the hotel your first challenge is in the form of the Cat.1 Hourquette d’Ancizan. The descent of the Hourquette takes you to Ste Marie de Campan and the start of the Tourmalet. Enjoy a snack at the famous cafe on the summit before heading back down to Ste Marie and the start of the magnificent ride over the Col d’Aspin and back to your hotel in St Lary Soulan.

The Tourmalet

Today’s your chance to ride the most famous of all Pyreneen climbs – the legendary Col du Tourmalet. And trust Thomson to add an extra twist, and have you climb it not once, but twice – from the Ste Marie de Campan side and from the Luz St Sauveur side. Only with Thomson!

Setting out from the hotel your first challenge is in the form of the Cat.1 Hourquette d’Ancizan. The descent of the Hourquette takes you to Ste Marie de Campan and the start of the Tourmalet. Enjoy a snack at the famous cafe on the summit before heading down to Luz St Sauveur where you’ll turn around and head back up for your 2nd “Tourmalet” of the day.

Pic du Midi Observatory

Today, your cycling partner will be climbing the most famous climb in the Pyrenees, the Col du Tourmalet. You’ll also head towards the Tourmalet, stopping at the ski station of La Mongie where you’ll take the spectacular cable car to the Pic du Midi summit and observatory. After visiting this famous site, we’ll continue on to the Col du Tourmalet where we may time it right to have a coffee with your partner at the café on the summit.
