Head for the mountain passes In Active mode

The road stretches out, the gradient builds and the mountain passes come into view. From the Tourmalet to Luz Ardiden, right through to the magnificent landscapes of Gavarnie and the Col des Tentes, every climb is an invitation to experience the mountains in a whole new way. Whether you’re powered by your own legs, with the subtle boost of electric assistance, or at the motor’s pace, the experience remains the same: legendary hairpin bends, spectacular scenery and that unique sensation of being fully immersed in the roads that have forged the legend of the Tour de France.

The Ardiden Loops Col du Tourmalet

Luz-Saint-Sauveur is a veritable base camp for all lovers of exceptional roads. Here, every bend tells a story, every hairpin bend offers a magnificent view and every climb becomes an unforgettable memory: the Col du Tourmalet, the climb to Luz Ardiden, the Col des Tentes…

Put one foot down in the village!

Bikes are everywhere in the village – on terraces, in cafés, by the roadside, in shops, at the start of major races, on the trails, and even as electric bikes… Whether you’re a beginner climber, a seasoned cyclist, or a lover of the legendary mountain passes of the Tour de France and stunning landscapes, Luz is your ideal base camp.
