Day 1
Ascent and contemplation
On this first day, you’ll embark on an exceptional adventure: the ascent of the Col du Tourmalet, one of the most legendary peaks in the Tour de France. This legendary pass, at an altitude of 2115 m, has seen some of cycling’s greatest champions come and go. Now, thanks to your electric bike, this challenge once reserved for seasoned cyclists is accessible to everyone.
Over a 19-kilometre climb with a difference in altitude of more than 1400 m, you’ll feel the adrenalin and excitement of climbing this historic route while enjoying the spectacular scenery of the Hautes-Pyrénées. Electric assistance allows you to modulate your effort, giving you a smooth and enjoyable climb. You pedal without ever running out of breath. So you have plenty of time to admire the breathtaking panoramas stretching out before you.
