Excursión ciclista de un día de Argelès-Gazost a Campan

Kick off your ride in the charming town of Argelès-Gazost, nestled at the crossroads of several classic Pyrenean passes. This area is known for its thermal baths and as a popular base for cyclists exploring the region. From here, you’ll head east toward Campan, traversing around 50 km with more than 1000 meters of climbing—expect a rewarding workout with plenty of stunning views!

The route mostly rolls along quiet roads, dipping occasionally onto cycleways and some paths. About half of the surface is paved, but be ready for some mixed terrain, including a bit of gravel and unpaved stretches—nothing too wild, just enough to spice things up. You’ll cross lush valleys, pass picturesque villages, and enjoy the peaceful scenery of the Pyrenean foothills.

Your destination, Campan, is famous for its traditional “mounaques”—life-sized dolls perched on balconies and benches around town, especially during summer. It's a perfect spot to relax, savor local cheeses, or just soak in the mountain vibes after a satisfying ride.
