Why the Pyrenees
The Pyrenees run for more than 400 km between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, and the roads that cross them are some of the best in Europe for riding: smooth, quiet and full of bends. Our Pyrenees motorcycle tours start in Barcelona and use the mountain roads on both sides of the border, never the motorways.
The N-260 crosses the Spanish Pyrenees from Portbou to Sabiñánigo and is the backbone of most of our routes, with detours to Pedraforca, the Val d’Aran and the canyons of Ordesa. Read our N-260 Pyrenees road guide.
The longer tours cross Andorra and climb the Tour de France passes on the French side, including the Tourmalet and the Aubisque. See riding the Tourmalet and the Aubisque.
If you would rather mix mountains with the sea, the Catalan Pyrenees are only a morning’s ride from the coast roads of the Costa Brava. See our Costa Brava motorcycle routes and all our motorcycle tours from Barcelona.
Included on every tour
Every Pyrenees tour is self-guided: ride at your own pace and stop where you like, with the planning and the hotels done for you.
Every Pyrenees route can be run as a guided tour for your group or club. Tell us your dates and group size and we will plan it with you.
