Biking

Mountain biking

Feel the wind sweep through your hair
Commit to some exciting down hill
Ride around fascinating local villages or take on cols

We can suggest possible itineraries and during the summer it is possible to take your bike up on the ski lift at Ax to try one of the marked downhill trails or play in the bike park. We have a VTT book for local circuits here for guests. If you would like to incorporate a crag or walk we have some ideas to offer.

Road Biking

Nearly every year the Tour de France makes its way through Ariège and this year finished on the Plateau de Beille - we rode up to watch and hiked across to Beille from an adjacent valley. What a fantastic day! This is a superb location for road biking with some classic cols such as Col de Port, Agnès and Lers.

We can provide comprehensive route notes and colour maps, altitude profiles with information on food options and local info. You can check out some options on www.mapmyride.com
