TRANS PYRENEES EXPEDITION
Overview
The Trans Pyrenees Expedition is a fully supported coast-to-coast crossing from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, travelling west to east across the Pyrenees.
Starting near Saint-Jean-de-Luz on the French Atlantic coast, the route crosses France, Andorra and Spain before finishing on the Mediterranean side of Catalonia.
This is a long-distance mountain expedition built around quiet roads, iconic Pyrenean climbs, remote valleys and selected mixed-surface sections where they add to the experience.
With full vehicle support, luggage transfers, mechanical assistance and carefully selected accommodation, riders can focus on the challenge of crossing an entire mountain range under their own power.
Every departure may adapt depending on weather, road conditions and group capability to ensure the safest and most rewarding experience possible.
