Excursión ciclista de un día de Argelès-Gazost a Saint-Lary-Soulan

Ready for a classic Pyrenean adventure? Kick things off in Argelès-Gazost, a welcoming spa town nestled at the foothills of the mountains, perfect for a last coffee before you hit the big climbs. From here, you’ll traverse nearly 100 km towards the famed Saint-Lary-Soulan, a charming ski resort that’s just as lively in summer with cyclists as it is with skiers in winter.

Brace yourself for some serious climbing—over 3,000 meters of ascent! This route threads together quiet country roads and scenic paths, letting you soak in epic mountain views without too much traffic. Expect a patchwork of road surfaces; while most is paved or asphalt, there are sections of gravel and unpaved tracks, so a sturdy bike is a good idea.

Along the way, you’ll experience classic Pyrenean scenery—lush valleys, twisting climbs, and possibly some iconic Tour de France territory. Saint-Lary-Soulan will be waiting at the end, the perfect place to refuel and chill out after a big day out in the mountains. Hydrate well, pace yourself, and enjoy the ride!
