Road Cycling / Triathlon Holidays and Training Camps on the legendary climbs of the Central French Pyrenees
All year round.
At Skycircuitvelo we design and deliver personalised, self-guided road cycling holidays and road bike training camps for sharing individuals or private groups, with full vehicle support all day, every day.
And with a new 25m pool just 10mins walk from basecamp, along with eye watering kilometres of trails on and off-road, we’re also perfectly set up for private groups of triathletes looking for a memorable Triathlon training camp at altitude.
Self-Guided Road Cycling Adventures matched to your level
Our mission is to provide you with a high quality, fun, safe, seamless and highly memorable experience, whether your group consists of:
Experienced riders who want to ride light, ride multiple sectors and push their limits, with all the advantages of pro-team style vehicle support, or;
Advancing beginners looking to try their first ever mountain road bike adventure in total safety, with the support van option always at hand to allow the group to continue if anyone pushes beyond their limits!
All our cycling adventures are “self-guided” which means you’ll be following a .gpx route on your own device, with no guide cycling with you. Our discrete but complete support is always just ahead or behind in the van!
What’s included in the service?
Just get your group to the airport or station, and the rest is pure enjoyment – you’re here to ride, not battle with logistics.
When you book on to our FULL CARBON service, here’s what you’re buying:
Full support
Transform your self-guided cycling adventure with our all day, every day, dedicated team van: mechanical backup, clothing, fuel / hydration / picnics, recovery/return transport if needed, mixed-level group facilitation, adventure add-ons, first aid and emergency coordination.
Private Villa
Skip the sterile hotels…your luxury basecamp sleeps 15 in separable/combinable beds across 8 bedrooms. You’ll have exclusive use of the entire building and grounds including our private pool, gorgeous terrace and a dedicated 35m2 games room for a nice bit of aprรจs-vรฉlo…
Transfers
Start and end your trip stress-free with our airport or train station transfers – including your bike-boxes. Step off the plane/train and straight into ride mode – you can even ride a beautiful 70km route to/from basecamp to maximise your training benefits.
Itinerary
We’ll share our personal experience of all the rides in our sector and work with you to create a personalised self-guided itinerary of your choice, matched precisely to your stated level and your training goals. We’ll provide GPX ride files with the best detailed route options based on our local knowledge.
Breakfast
We’ll stock up basecamp with your preferred breakfast staples, and bring you fresh “ride energy” from the best local boulangerie every morning to fuel those first climbs.
Lunches and dinners are flexible, and not included in our prices – we book great restaurants and caterers at your request.
Away day(s)
We’ll support at least one point A to point B day ride during your booking, unlocking a second tranche of epic climbs to the East or West. We’ll also organise* any mixed-activity days you might like with reputable local providers.
* We do not provide travel agency services and so whilst we can organise and reserve third party services, payments for these services are made directly by you.
SkycircuitVilla: luxury, privacy and perfect location
Our fully flexible road cycling itineraries are built around our exclusive private 8 bedroom villa on 3000m2 of land, located where TDF iconic Saint Girons meets historic Saint Lizier, in Ariรจge, France.
Skycircuitvilla balances perfectly the convenience of town with a dream gateway location at the epicentre of the biggest road bike climbs in the central sector of the French Pyrenees.
Your private piece of paradise overlooks 3000m2 of exclusive land resplendent with mature trees and boasts:
- 15 separable/combinable beds across 8 bedrooms
- Superfast fibre wifi
- Private pool
- Huge garden with BBQ
- Games room
- Garage
- Secure bike storage
- 3 bathrooms
- 4 toilets
- Fully equipped kitchen
- Big lounge/diner
- Washing/drying facilities.
- Easy parking for 5 cars
We picked this property very carefully – it gives direct access to the highest number and variety of the best road cycling route options right from the front door, and yet you’ll also only be a short walk into bustling Saint Girons.
This iconic cycling town is an official Tour de France “Ville a velo” , the historic birthplace of the renowned annual UCI U23 Ronde de L’Isard, and home to one of the biggest weekly street markets in the Ariรจge ‘departement’ along with numerous restaurants, tearooms, bars and boutiques.
So far the Tour de France has passed through our home town of Saint Girons 63 times, and it’s vanishingly rare that a Pyrenean TDF stage is outside a one day supported ride range from basecamp.
Road cycling in the Pyrenees all year round
We provide our service to you all year round, with incredible opportunities for last minute off-season warm weather riding in the foothills, even when the snowline is well below the cols! Our advantage, and your opportunity, is that our team lives here, and so we’re ready to accommodate your group at any time.
Live in Northern Europe? We can offer brilliant long weekend road cycling adventures where you’ll ride 3 full days for the cost of only one day’s leave
