A stunning 3 day tour through the French and Spanish Pyrenees, routing over several ‘Tour’ climbs and incorporating a great descent to the Mediterranean through two beautiful Catalan National Parks.

Schedule:

We meet you off the 19.35 BA Heathrow – Toulouse flight on the Thursday night for a quick transfer to our hotel in the medieval town of Foix and a good nights sleep.

Stage one: Foix – Puigcerda (135km)

The opening day is also the toughest, crossing two ‘Tour’ climbs in the morning, the ‘Col De Chiolu’ and the mighty ‘ Col De Pailheres’, followed by a fantastic descent into ‘Cathar Country’ on the northern side. We then snake right at 85kms back in to The Pyrenees, progressing through the ski resort of Font Romeo, staying high, before descending to our Spa hotel in Puigcerda, just over the Spanish frontier, for a well deserved rest.

Stage Two: Puigcerda – Pantano De Sau (110km)

A much easier day involving an initial 25km roll-out using small Catalan mountain roads, folllowed by effectively an 80km descent through the amazing national park scenery of the Pyrenees Occidental.

We spin through multiple old towns and villages on our descent before stopping for the night at a glorious ‘Parador’ hotel, overlooking a great mountain lake.

Stage Three: Pantano – Mediterranean. (90km)

The final day starts with another gentle 25km roll-out through the beautiful Parc Naturel Del Montgeny, where we enter our final climb, a 10km grind to a 1125m summit. We then have a massive 55km descent through the Parc Naturel De Montnorge Corredor, finishing at a fantastic spa on the beach by the Med, for a swim and late lunch. check their website: www.hotel-colon.net/web/ct/index.php
