Canigou Cycling Mediterranean & Pyrenees Road Bike Vacations

Pyrenees Multi-Stage-Tours

The journey is the reward–our journey is along the most beautiful roads. Our multi-stage-tours take you along breathtaking routes to the grand Tour-de-France-cols of the Pyrenees. You will cycle through sparsely populated southern scenery with Mediterranean climate and you will encounter genuinehospitality along the way.

How demanding are the multi-stage-tours?

Our multi-stage-tours are designed for the ambitious hobby cyclist: We cycle at an individual and easygiong pace. We have allowed for ample rest days and always foster a good team spirit. If necessary we also offer the possibility to ride parts of the way in the supprt car. Provided that you are in good health condition, well prepared and confident in your ability, you will be able to enjoy the Pyrenees tour.

Bliss, also after the stages:

You will be accomodated in well-kept Hotels and B&Bs. In almost all stop-over towns these are small family owned establishments steeped in local tradition. Regional specialities will be served and the special needs of long distance cyclists are accounted for.

Arrival and departure without haste:

The multi-stage-tours are round trips: After 8 days we will arrive in the same hotel where we originaly departed. The arrival day is the day before the first stage. This way you will have enough time to arrive, prepare your bike in the mobile repair shop, and get to know the ther participants. You can leave your bike-box and/or car at the hotel for the time of the trip. The tour ends the day before departure – a last joint evening nicely completes our pyrenees adventure.
