Due to popular demand, Ardiden Velos now offers 3, 5 or 7 day self-guided road bike tours. The tours are based on the demands of keen amateur cyclists and include many iconic Tour de France climbs and a number of popular, lesser known, but equally challenging local climbs and scenic routes. See Self-Guided Tours for more information.
At the beginning of the season during April and May, the weather can be changeable. It may be cold at the higher altitudes, so be prepared ... The lower cols and the climbs to Hautacam, Cauterets and Luz Ardiden are rideable, but The Tourmalet and Aubisque are not normally open before the end of May. July and August are the busiest months - It is usually hot and dry but there are inevitably a few rainy days with mist at the top of the mountains. September is usually the best month for road biking. The weather is dependable and it's still warm but a little cooler than during the summer months, so perfect for climbing. The season lasts through to about the middle or end of October. For current weather conditions, see meteoblue.com
We will be closed from the 23 October for the winter season, but taking bookings for 2019. Either on-line here, or please contact us.
The route of the 2019 Tour de France will be officially announced in Paris on the 25 October. Rumours are that the Tour will be passing through Luz-Saint-Sauveur around the 18 to 20 July, (but they're just rumours, let's see) ... What is definite is that we get VERY busy the week of the T de F in the Pyrenees, so once the dates are confirmed, be ready to book well ahead to make sure you get the bikes you want.
