Cycling day trip from Biscarrosse to La Teste-de-Buch

Ready for an adventure along the Atlantic coast? This scenic cycle route takes you from Biscarrosse up to La Teste-de-Buch, stretching just under 46 kilometers of primarily smooth, paved cycleway—ideal for a relaxed ride or a speedy dash.

You’ll start in Biscarrosse, a chilled-out town known for its expansive sandy beaches, pretty lakes, and pine forests. Roll northward, hardly ever leaving the comfort of well-marked cycle paths that wind through fragrant maritime pines. You’ll gradually pick up about 350 meters of ascent, but don’t worry—the inclines are gentle, and you’ll also enjoy some breezy descents.

The ride is almost entirely on dedicated cycleways, with just a hint of quiet roads and residential stretches, making it super safe and peaceful. As you approach La Teste-de-Buch, soak in the views—the town sits on the edge of the Bassin d’Arcachon, famous for its oyster farms and the nearby Dune du Pilat, Europe’s tallest sand dune.

Take your time, stop for a lakeside picnic, and enjoy cycling at its best on this friendly, forest-hugged route!
