Excursión ciclista de un día de Saint-Lary-Soulan a Campan

Saint-Lary-Soulan to Campan Cycling Route

Get ready for an epic Pyrenean ride! Leaving the lively mountain village of Saint-Lary-Soulan, a hotspot for outdoor adventurers, you’ll start with a serious climb. Over just 48 kilometers, you’ll tackle nearly 2,000 meters of ascent and drop down even further on your way to the peaceful town of Campan, known for its traditional wooden “mounaques” dolls.

Much of the route is quiet and remote—perfect for soaking in the wild mountain scenery and spotting marmots. Don’t expect all smooth tarmac here: mixed surfaces await, with plenty of unpaved and gravel stretches to add to the adventure. There’s also a thrilling descent as you leave the high passes behind and speed toward Campan.

This ride is a classic for Pyrenees lovers: quiet roads, big climbs, big descents, and incredible panoramas. Be ready for changes in weather and carry what you need, as services are few and far between. At the finish, reward yourself with a stroll through Campan’s charming streets and maybe a slice of local gâteau à la broche.
