Gita in bici di un giorno da Luz-Saint-Sauveur a Saint-Lary-Soulan

Get ready for an epic ride through the Pyrenees! Starting in Luz-Saint-Sauveur, a charming mountain town famous as a gateway to the legendary Tour de France climbs (hello, Col du Tourmalet), you'll wind your way east toward Saint-Lary-Soulan, another classic Pyrenean cycling hub.

This roughly 74 km route is no joke—expect some serious climbing (over 3600 meters of ascent!) and equally big descents, with your highest point topping 2,100 meters. The ride blends everything: quiet mountain roads, some sections of gravel and track, and a good chunk of unpaved surfaces thrown in. So, be sure to bring a bike that can handle a little rough and tumble.

You'll pass through breathtaking alpine scenery, with towering peaks and lush valleys. At the finish, Saint-Lary-Soulan awaits—a village known for its cosy après-bike vibes and proximity to great hiking and thermal baths. Whether you're chasing Strava segments or just soaking in the mountain air, this route is a Pyrenean classic in every sense.
