Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Arette do Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port

Get ready for an epic ride in the western Pyrenees! Starting from the charming village of Arette, nestled on the edge of the Béarn region (famous for its sheep’s cheese!), you’ll roll southward on tranquil roads. This route is a proper leg-burner, clocking over 2,200 m of climbing as you zigzag through lush valleys, over forested hills, and past rolling pastures where horses and sheep graze freely.

While nearly half the surface is missing from our data (adventure awaits!), expect mostly paved roads and long, quiet stretches with little traffic—perfect for soaking in those mountain views. There’s a bit of gravel here and there to keep things interesting, but nothing too wild.

After about 80 km of Pyrenean beauty and a big dose of up-and-down, you’ll cruise into Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. This historic Basque town is the gateway to the Camino de Santiago and packed with medieval charm—think old stone walls, bustling cafés, and pilgrims everywhere. Treat yourself to a pastry or a pint: You’ve earned it!
