Haute Route Pyrenees 2013 Cycling Holiday
Pending the announcement of the route, our travel packages are now on sale. The 2013 courses for both Haute Route Alps and Haute Route Pyrenees will be announced at a later date, but the format remains the same on each event: 7 consecutive timed stages (including one ‘Marathon Stage’ and one individual time-trial), maximum number of legendary cols, minimal flat sections, mountain top finishes where possible, maximum length timed sections, individual timing and all climbs timed. The concept of the Haute Route Pyrenees (Catalonia-Basque Coast) will be identical to that of the Haute Route Alps (Geneva-Nice), with both events being held annually. The peloton will consist of hundreds of cyclists from all continents across the globe, traversing this stunning mountain range in seven timed stages, which will include an individual time trial mid-week. Riders’ first motivation will be to finish the race and to share an experience of a lifetime. All participants will be ranked individually (Solo) and as part of a team between 3 and 9 cyclists (Team).
OC Sport will announce the Start and Finish host cities, along with full details of the course for the Haute Route Pyrenees at a later date. In terms of travelling to the event, Barcelona or Perpignan are likely to be the closest airports for the start, and Biarritz for the finish. During each event, the riders will face 800 km, 20 cols and more than 20,000 meters of ascent in one week. Our travel packages to the 2013 Haute Route Alps and Pyrenees will be available soon.

We are pleased to confirm that we are exclusive UK travel partners for the for the Haute Route Pyrenees which will take place from the 1st until the 7th of September 2013.
Our journey links the crystal Mediterranean waters to the shores of the Atlantic, from East to West, via 800km and 20,000 metres of ascent. The highest cols of the Pyrenees will feature in the challenging course, including the mythical Tourmalet, and riders must be wary that these climbs are even steeper than the Alpine ones.” The Haute Route Pyrenees will link two dynamic, world-famous and iconic cities, which offer excellent accommodation and international airports.
