LEGENDARY CYCLING CLIMBS

- Tour de France -

THE PYRENEES

Trasy kolarskie wg miejsca startu:

All of the starting locations can be reached by car with your own bike. If you decide to use public transportation, here is some information:

The closest airports to all of the routes in the Pyrenees are Aéroport de Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées, Aéroport de Toulouse-Blagnac and Aéroport Pau-Pyrénées.
If you have chosen Lourdes, Luz-Saint-Sauveur, Argelès-Gazost, or Saint-Lary-Soulan as your starting point, the best option is to land at the airport in Lourdes.
If your starting point is Laruns or Bedous, it is most advantageous to land at the airport in Pau, but the very limited number of flights to this airport often leads to choosing the airport in Lourdes.
If you have chosen Bagnères-de-Luchon or Saint-Girons as your starting point, the airports in Lourdes and Toulouse have similar travel times to the starting locations.
The airport in Toulouse is a better choice if you want to tackle your routes starting in Tarascon-sur-Ariège or Ax-les-Thermes because you can reach the starting point directly by train from the Gare de Toulouse Matabiau train station.
Details and proposals for connections from airports to the starting locations can be found on the subsequent pages describing individual towns, which you can choose from the map below by clicking on the bike icon or airport icon.
Flight connection proposals to Lourdes and Toulouse can be found in the transport section.
The website for French railways with the possibility to buy tickets is: sncf.com
