What is it? From our base at the Auberge de l'Arac in the Arac valley, the Pyrenean Cols Experience takes in many of the famous Pyrenean Cols and introduces you to one or two others that the Tour de France has not yet had the nerve to include… 
we adapt the itinerary to suit individual needs. So if your mountain experience to date is limited or even non-existent, this is the perfect place to get acquainted with the joys of riding the Pyrenean cols.
shouting encouragement from the comfort of a support vehicle. A combination of small groups, personal attention and an itinerary that you can influence makes you feel part of a team rather than a tour group.
