Le Tour de France
Epic mountain stages
The Gavarnie Valleys are one of the key stages of the legendary Tour de France. Col du Tourmalet, Hautacam, Col du Soulor, Col de l'Aubisque, Col de Spandelles, Cambasque, Col des Tentes, Ardiden... so many names that echo the history of the Grande Boucle.
Mountain stages as we like them and which have great surprises in store for the spectators!
Trails and white trails
Running in the mountains in all seasonsIn summer, mountain running enthusiasts will be spoiled for choice to challenge themselves during the many organized trails. In winter, there is no respite for trail runners! They will be able to take advantage of the many white trails to run in the snowy valleys and feel the contrast between their body heated by the effort and the fresh air of the season. An exquisite feeling!
The Altitoy
Major ski mountaineering eventThe Altitoy, the biggest ski mountaineering competition in the Pyrenees, is an unmissable winter event in the Gavarnie Valleys.
This international race, which is practiced as a team, offers two routes: a technical and demanding one and a gentler one, thus offering great sporting moments!
