One of the French Alps lesser know climbs, Lacets du Montvernier, is a great little climb, which we often link with our day on the Col du Glandon.

This is one of our absolute favourite rides. It is an all day 'special' ride. Solid climbs, sweeping descents, beautiful towns, cowbells and meandering livestock, in 150km and 4500m. Its a Pyrenean Dream!

Col de Peyresourde is a truly beautiful climb that we often use as our opening day in the Pyrenees. It's a tough climb at times, but it's worth it for the snack at the summit.

Col d'Aubisque is one of the most picturesque rides in the Pyrenees. Our ride cross over the little sibling, Col du Soulor, before opening up to vast valleys and a horizon of mountain peaks.

Alpe d'Huez is one of the most famous mountains in Tour de France history. When this climb is included in the Tour de France, every rider dreams of victory. There is a real romance and mystique that accompanies Alpe d’Huez as part of Tour de France folklore.

Col du Tourmalet paved the way for what we know as the Tour de France. This amazing climb has been crossed 87 times, more than any other mountain in Le Tour’s history and was added in the first Tour de France to tackle the high mountains. It was the second highest pass (2115m) in the Pyrenees
