THE IDEA

We at Royal Asport want you to ride in the Pyrénées from a fun perspective. So, we created the Beach-to-Beach tour for you to enjoy the different flavors of our beloved mountain range.

THE ROUTE

From the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean, the Beach2Beach route is divided into 3 parts. First, the scenic trail between Perpignan and Foix, as a kind of warmup. Then, the mythical Tour de France cols, with the Tourmalet and Aubisque as the main course. Last, the fantastic roads and trails of the Basque Country, with an amazing final  in Hendaye along the river and the Ocean.

THE PACKAGE

With the Beach-to-Beach bundle, we make your life easier. You just have to focus on your training for the 700 km ride, and eventually pay your hotel rooms thanks to the short list we've got prepared for you for each stage, arrange your transportation to Perpignan and Hendaye, as well as all travel and personal insurances. We take care of the rest: The route planning, the backup roads, the locations of the relevant bike shops for repair services, the reservations of your hotel rooms, and the reservation of the baggage transfer service... In summary, our Beach2Beach package is your time saving solution, for you to get the most of your cycling trip in the Pyrénées!
