Our route takes you on the quite country roads over the most famous climbs in the world. Each day will be ridden at a comfortable pace with a relaxing stopover in 2** hotels including a night at our own centre in Luscan where you can take a relaxing swim in our pool or just crash out on the terrace with a beer.. Our support will always be there with either water for your bidons or a hot cup of tea on top of the climb. You will not need to carry anything other than yourself over the mountains.

We have chosen a route that combines quiet, rural roads with some of the most famous climbs of the Tour de France passing over some of the highest passes in Europe including the Col de Bonnette, the highest of them all. This is a fully supported bike tour allowing you to ride point to point each day without the worry of luggage, water or navigation. You will receive route cards, vehicle support and an experienced guide throughout the tour.

We provide you with our very own Carnet de Route and daily route cards. We will also provide you with the Garmin GPS files so you can download them into your units or we have a number of Garmin 705 units for rental. We will stay to the quiet roads as much as possible. We also give you a fantastic cycle jersey so you can ride the tour in style.

The itinerary may change from time to time but is basically the set route for our version of the Raid Alpine. If you are reasonably fit you will be able to complete this course but will need to train for it. There is always vehicle support in case you get into difficulties. And remember there are some short cuts just in case.

All your luggage and bike containers are transported between stages. There is also mechanical support available so you do not have to worry about anything other than enjoying the ride

The itinerary may change from time to time but is basically the set route for our version of the Raid Pyrénées. If you are reasonably fit you will be able to complete this course but will need to train for it. There is always vehicle support in case you get into difficulties.

All your luggage and bike containers are transported between stages. There is also mechanical support available so you do not have to worry about anything than enjoying the ride.

We will also be riding over into the next valley and staying in the picturesque town of Argelés Gazost. This allows us to extend the range of mountains that we can climb. The the Col d’Aubisque, Hautacam and Luz Ardiden are now on the agenda.

This is a fully inclusive tour other than snacks for lunch which we will take out on the bike.

Our Iron CAMP is now in its 6th year and has been designed around our experience with Epic Camp over the past years. But our camp is for mortals and is aimed at the Ironman or Half Ironman Athlete as an concentrated week of effort to boost their training schedule for their upcoming season iron distance race. As with the Epic Camp, this multi base camp, is a full on training camp with plenty of time in the saddle as well as the swim and run each day just to make if feel complete. We also have a fun points competition for the Pyrenees Multisport King of the Mountains prize.


The camp starts at our our centre in Luscan in the central Pyrenees. We head off eastwards towards the Ariege over the Route des Cols and loop back to Lucan. Then it is westward and over the giant of the Pyrenees, the Col du Tourmalet. Again we will loop back after an over night stopover in Argelés Gazost. There may also be a chance for a couple of fun activities for those that need a little rest from the bike and a few extra points for the KoM jersey. This camp is all about consitency and using the other campers as motivation to get through an invaluable week of training. Consitency earns more than just points for the prize.


The Camp distances are a guide. It all depends on how you feel and your ability. There will be minimal time limits e.g. running so you either run 5 Km or 30 mins. It is all about consistency and there are bonus points for completing the Camp.

How much training will I be expected to do during this camp?

Itineraries for the two training weeks can be found here.

Week 1 – Advanced / Intermediate Training Camp

Week 2 – Novice Training Camp

However, it is important to stress that you can do as much or as little training as you like or as your race and training goals require. While this is a training camp, it is also a week away from your life at home so you need to make sure you enjoy it and get everything out of it you want!
