The Pyrenees - Cycling Heaven

If you're planning on cycling in the Pyrenees then PyrActif, a small, friendly, English & French-speaking firm offers road and mountain bike holidays designed to give you the very best experiences of riding in these spectacular mountains.

Operating here year-round since 1994, we cater for every level and style of rider:

from relative 'beginners' thinking about their first trip to a major mountain range
to experienced club riders, racers & triathletes keen on tackling the great cols of the Tour de France
and MTB enthusiasts looking for a heady mix of cross-country, some stiff climbs & exciting descents.

Our superb network of quiet local roads and trails offers an unmatched opportunity to ride whatever and however you want to.

Our riding packages include fully supported Pyrenean Coast-to-Coast traverses (the Raid Pyrenean), long weekends on pre-planned routes sampling the best of our local roads or trails and DIY riding options where your daily route can be tailored according to how your legs are feeling. We also provide a perfect location from which to witness the drama of Tour de France mountain stages at close quarters, or to base yourself from for your own training camp.

With some of the best French cyclosportives taking place 'on our doorstep' each year, we're also well-placed to satisfy riders looking to add a dash of 'race' excitement to their riding in the region.

And, 'New in 2010', we've spread our wings a little to put all the services & expertise of PyrActif at your disposal for warm winter training in southern Spain or for a truly memorable week of riding & spectating at the Spring Classics in Belgium & Holland. Based on the success of both trips in 2010 we'll have details here of our 2011 Spain & Belgium trips, very soon.

We welcome everyone from solo riders to large group/club parties. Larger groups can benefit from our Group Discount deals (see 'Calendar & Prices' page).

We can provide a range of support for your trip, including:

pick-up / drop-off at our local railway station
