The Hautes-Pyrénées isn't just for hardcore climbers. The region offers beautiful, family-friendly cycling in the valleys, with flat, safe roads and stunning scenery. Here's how to enjoy a family cycling holiday in the Pyrenees.
Valley Routes
The Gave de Pau valley offers miles of flat, scenic cycling. The route from Lourdes to Argelès-Gazost follows a bike path through picturesque villages and alongside the river. It's safe, beautiful, and suitable for all ages. Electric bikes are available for rental, making longer rides accessible for everyone.
Family-Friendly Climbs
If the kids want to experience a climb, the lower cols are achievable. The Col de Spandelles (1,357 m) has a gentle gradient, and the Hourquette d'Ancizan is scenic and not too steep. With e-bikes, even the Tourmalet becomes accessible for teenagers.
