Paseo rápido en bici de Argelès-Gazost a Pierrefitte-Nestalas

This leisurely ride takes you from Argelès-Gazost to Pierrefitte-Nestalas, weaving through the stunning foothills of the French Pyrenees. Starting in Argelès-Gazost, a charming spa town known for its beautiful Belle Époque architecture and thermal baths, you’ll head southeast for about 8.6 km.

The route gently climbs for a bit—enough to get your legs warm—before granting you a smooth descent with fantastic views of the river valleys. Most of the ride follows a dedicated cycleway, so you can relax and soak in the mountain scenery without worrying about traffic. The area is a hotspot for cycling enthusiasts, acting as a gateway for iconic climbs like the Col du Tourmalet, but today’s ride is easygoing and great for all levels.

Arriving in Pierrefitte-Nestalas, you’ll find a small, quiet village where several famous Pyrenean valleys meet. It’s a perfect spot for a coffee break or to plan a longer mountain adventure. This ride is ideal for anyone seeking a little taste of Pyrenean cycling magic without the epic climbs!
