Tour de Fran-tastic
This is an absolutely thrilling motorcycle adventure that promises breathtaking scenery, challenging roads, and just the sensation of flying high!
The Pyrenees mountain range, stretching between France and Spain, offers some of the most stunning scenery in all of Europe. From snow-capped peaks and lush valleys to picturesque alpine lakes and rivers, providing a backdrop of natural beauty that will leave you in awe at every turn.
Exhilarating ride after ride, with legendary passes such as the Col du Tourmalet, Col d'Aubisque, and Col de Solour, each offering thrilling twists and turns as they wind through the mountains. Just mountain pass after pass that feel as if we rode up on the first day of the tour and don’t descend until the very last day.
Because of its geographical location, we experience the cultural heritage of both France and Spain. Exploring charming mountain villages, ancient castles and monasteries, and dining on the delicious cuisine of the region, which blends French and Spanish influences.
Come ride the best views and routes of the Tour de France condensed into one spectacular week, but on a motorcycle (much easier on the legs)!
