Gita in bici di un giorno da Hendaye a Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port

Get ready for a spectacular cycling adventure from seaside Hendaye to the enchanting historic town of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port! The route covers just over 91 km, winding through the rolling Basque countryside, and it’s perfect if you love a challenge. With nearly 3,600 meters of ascent, gear up for some serious climbing—your legs will thank you later.

The maximum elevation on this ride clocks in around 540 meters, so brace yourself for some rewarding mountain views.

Your finish line, Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, is packed with history—it’s a classic waypoint for Camino de Santiago pilgrims, with cobbled lanes and a stunning medieval citadel.
