Gita in bici di un giorno da Bagnères-de-Luchon a Campan

Get ready for a Pyrenean adventure as you roll out from Bagnères-de-Luchon, a spa town famed for its healing hot springs and classic Tour de France stage finishes. This ride to Campan, about 88 km to the north, isn’t just a cruise—it’s a real mountain journey with over 4,200 meters of ascent! Expect to hit some classic cols and tackle a max elevation of nearly 2,000 meters, so bring your climbing legs.

The route meanders through mostly quiet roads, with a bit of everything under your wheels: some smooth pavement, a good chunk of mixed surfaces, and stretches of gravel and ground that’ll keep things interesting. You’ll skirt lush valleys, pass through remote hamlets, and soak in breathtaking views—especially as you crest those epic passes.

Finishing in Campan, you’ll find a charming mountain village rich in pastoral traditions and known for its sculpted life-sized "Mounaques" dolls. Reward yourself with a break by the river or a refueling stop at a local café. This is a ride for those who love remote high mountains, ever-changing terrain, and classic French Pyrenean vibes.
