Map Overview

Itinerary Day to Day

We recommend arriving at Bilbao or San Sebastián (Donostia) airports around midday, where our guides will pick you up. 

From there, we'll head to a peaceful location to introduce the tour and fine-tune the bicycles. For those renting bikes, our guides will conduct a fitting session to ensure each bicycle is perfectly prepared for the challenges ahead.

Depending on your arrival time—ideally around noon, though we can accommodate other times—if we have time, we'll fit in an easy ride. This will give us the chance to ensure that all bikes are in top condition as we embark on the first few kilometers through the Basque Country, including a climb up the famous Jaizkibel, the first Tour de France climb of this tour.

After our ride, you'll have some time to shower before enjoying a traditional Basque meal. Being in the Basque Country, we can't miss the opportunity to savor a pintxos and chuletón dinner in San Sebastián.
Ride of the Day (Optional)
We begin our journey from Irun, crossing the first border into the French Basque Country.

Here, we'll start climbing the initial mountains. At kilometer 30, we'll encounter the Pas de Roland, a gorge carved by snow at its base. The path runs along beautiful cliffs in a remarkable mineral setting, with the road following the river, creating a pleasant and bucolic atmosphere in the Basque hinterland.

At the halfway point of our route, at kilometer 70, we will reach the Col de Gamia. Here, we will have a feed point with food served from our team, allowing you to refuel while enjoying a fantastic panoramic view. After lunch, we will continue crossing mountains, accumulating a total of 2,370 meters of ascent before finishing in Barcus.

Once the ride is completed and everyone is settled, we will have a short 45-minute transfer to Domaine Coustarret. Here, we will visit the vineyards where Sebastien, the owner, produces wine artisanally. Surrounded by vines, we will enjoy a wine tasting along with a picnic in this idyllic setting on our second night.
Ride of the Day 
Starting directly from the vineyard, after breakfast and getting the bicycles ready, we will embark on a stage that takes us deep into the French Pyrenees, where legendary mountain passes await. 

At kilometer 23, we will tackle the Col de la Marie-Blanque (featured in the 2023 Tour de France) as we make our way towards the renowned Col d’Aubisque. Reaching the Col d’Aubisque will be a rewarding experience, as we have a feed point set up here, allowing us to rest and refuel.

After lunch, we will have around 50 kilometers left to ride, passing through the Col du Soulor before arriving in the charming village of Luz-Saint-Sauveur. Here, we will settle into our campsite and unwind until dinner, which will be served at the restaurant Le Mouton Noir Luz.

In Luz-Saint-Sauveur, you also have the option to visit the spa and enjoy a massage to aid in recovery and prepare your body for the upcoming stages. If you are interested, please note that these services must be booked in advance and are not included in the tour price.
Ride of the Day 
We will start the day from our campsite in Luz-Saint-Sauveur, heading towards our first highlight: the Cirque de Troumouse. To reach it, we will conquer 33 impressive hairpin bends. After this exhilarating climb, we will descend towards the village of Pont de Napoléon, where we will have our halfway point.

Next, we will begin the ascent of the Col du Tourmalet from its most spectacular side. Once we reach the summit, we will descend the other side to Lac de Payolle. Here, we will rest in the motorhome area and enjoy a picnic dinner featuring local delicacies.
Ride of the Day 
Starting from Lac de Payolle, we begin the day with our first climb: the Hourquette d’Ancizan. This lightly trafficked road winds through beautiful natural surroundings and abundant wildlife. Next, we will head towards the Col du Portet, a famous Tour de France landmark, where we will have our halfway point with a feed station serving a picnic from the motorhome.

After refueling, we will set out towards one of the most spectacular climbs, leading to the idyllic Lac de Cap de Long. We firmly believe that motorhomes are the ideal support vehicle for crossing the Pyrenees because of locations like this. Upon reaching the summit with our bicycles, we will have the entire afternoon to enjoy the tranquility and end the day in this perfect setting. We will have a picnic by the lake and witness one of the best sunsets in the Pyrenees.
Ride of the Day 
The start of this stage is very enjoyable, as we begin by descending from Cap de Long, the same pass we ascended the previous day. 

The route continues through natural parks, passing by the famous Col de Peyresourde and the Port de Portillon.

To finish the day, we will arrive to Viella. Once in Catalonia, we will take a short transfer to the country of the Pyrenees, the small nation of Andorra, where we will have dinner at the first traditional Andorran Borda adapted as a restaurant.
Ride of the Day 
Our day begins with the ascent to the impressive Port d’Envalira, the highest mountain pass with a road in the Pyrenees, reaching an altitude of 2,409 meters. After summiting this pass, we will descend on the French side and then climb up to the Port de Puymorens.

Our route continues to La Molina, where we will reach the halfway point at kilometer 70, located at Cap del Ginebrar. From here, we will descend through the scenic Coll de la Creueta and the picturesque Coll de Canes until we arrive in Olot. 

After a refreshing shower, we will transfer to the village of Banyoles, where we can enjoy the golden hour and have dinner by the famous lake.
Ride of the Day 
We begin the final stage from Banyoles, heading towards the Mediterranean Sea through the charming roads and villages of Pla de l’Estany and l’Empordà. Although this stage lacks significant elevation changes, we will tackle the last climb of the journey, Sant Pere de Rodes, at kilometer 67. Here, we can recharge before entering Cap de Creus, the home of Salvador Dalí.

From Port de la Selva, we will proceed to the picturesque village of Cadaqués, with its iconic whitewashed houses, and continue onto the restricted traffic road, allowing us to savor the final kilometers of our trans-Pyrenean journey.

We will reach the easternmost point where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean Sea and celebrate completing the traverse with a meal in an extraordinary location.

To conclude the day, we will return to Cadaqués, shower in the motorhome, and then take the final transfer to either Girona city or Girona airport, depending on individual needs.

What driving lincense do I need?

All our tours come with a support team responsible for driving the vehicles, so you don't need to worry about driving. Driving motorhomes on mountain roads can be challenging and stressful, which is why our staff will handle moving the vehicle daily between locations.

This also allows companions to enjoy the journey aboard our motorhomes with all the comforts, even if they do not cycle the stages. We try to offer complementary activities for these companions whenever possible.

Can I bring my own bike?

Yes, of course! You are welcome to bring your own bicycle. Please note that you will be responsible for assembling your bike upon arrival and disassembling it upon departure, as well as making any necessary shipping arrangements to get your bike to and from the trip.

Can I add a non-rider to the tour?

As a private tour, adding a non-rider is not a problem. Non-riders can enjoy the route with our staff in one of the support motorhomes. Whenever possible, we will try to offer complementary activities and adapt to everyone's needs. I

f you are considering adding a non-rider, contact our team, and we will help organize activities they will enjoy, provided the route allows it.

There is a minimum age to go to this tour?

There is no minimum age for companions, as long as they are accompanied by an adult at all times. 

For cyclists, the minimum age is 8 years. Despite the route's difficulty, children can choose to ride part of the stages, tackle a particular climb, or cycle in one of the final destinations. 

They will always be accompanied by an adult, not under responsability of UAU CAMPER Guides.

What pace is maintained during the trips?

Our travel style is fully adaptable to the group’s pace.

 Whether you're a group of athletes who love speed and a lively pace, or cyclists who prefer a more relaxed rhythm, our support team and guides will adjust to your speed. 

However, we will recommend cut-off times to ensure the stages do not end at night. If you are in good shape for the elevation and distance, there should be no issues.

 Additionally, if you can't finish a stage on any given day, you always have the option to hop into the support vehicle and complete it aboard the motorhome.


What type of support is offered on the tours?

We offer personalized and comprehensive support both on and off the bike. Our tours are always accompanied by two guides. One guide will go ahead of the tour, handling logistics and preparing picnics so everything is ready when you arrive at the location.

The other guide will be in the support vehicle, following the group. In case of a flat tire or mechanical issue, they will be there within minutes to fix it. If you need a lift up a climb, they’ll be there to help you to the top.

Once off the bike, our guides are available in the second vehicle to assist you with any questions or provide recommendations as locals.

Cancellation Policy

In this case, since the fleet of vehicles will remain the same, the price per person will increase. 

However, there is also the option for fewer than 4 people to ride bikes, plus 1 or 2 companions enjoying the route in the comfortable motorhome.

Are the routes guided?

The routes are supported by a team. Each day, before departure, the staff will provide a detailed briefing. During the entire route, a support motorhome will follow, ready to provide roadside assistance if needed.

During the stage, you will have GPS tracks (we also offer a rental service for GPS devices).

It's a motorhome trip, the logistics are very complex. What do we need to prepare?

You don't need to worry about anything. On the tour, we will include two guides who will drive the vehicle and handle its maintenance. This way, you won't have to concern yourself with logistics.

REVIEWS

Alex M.

This was the cycling trip of a lifetime. Pablo and Xevi were exceptional guides, always ready with helpful tips and local insights. The support vehicle was always nearby, making sure we had everything we needed. The highlight for me was the climb up the Col d’Aubisque and the spectacular descent to Lac de Payolle. The evenings spent relaxing in the motorhome were perfect for recovery, and the added comfort of not having to pack and unpack each day was a huge plus.

Oliver S.

I can't say enough good things about this tour. Pablo and Xevi made every aspect of the trip enjoyable and stress-free. The routes were well-planned, taking us through breathtaking landscapes and iconic cycling spots. Having the motorhome waiting for us at the end of each stage was incredibly convenient, and the meals were a great way to experience local culture. The personalized support and attention to detail made this a truly premium experience. Highly recommend!

Elena R.

The tour exceeded all my expectations! From the moment we were picked up at the airport, Pablo and Xevi made sure we were well taken care of. The routes were challenging yet rewarding, offering stunning views and memorable climbs. The motorhome was a fantastic way to end each day, providing comfort and convenience.
