Mountain bike hire

Pedaling through Lourdes means discovering the Pyrenees from a different angle, between spirituality and wilderness. From the moment you first pedal into town, you'll feel the unique atmosphere where pilgrims and adventurers meet in an exceptional mountain setting.

Renting a bike in Lourdes gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace. In just a few minutes, you're on your way from the famous Sanctuary to the majestic Château Fort perched on its rocky outcrop. From up there, the panoramic view of the town and surrounding mountains rewards you for your effort. And don't forget to bring your camera - it's well worth the detour!

The Voie Verte des Gaves is undoubtedly the most accessible itinerary for everyone. This former railroad line has been converted into a cycle path, taking you from Lourdes to Argelès-Gazost over 22 kilometers of flat terrain. Along the Gave de Pau, between forests and meadows, it's a refreshing ride even in midsummer. Families and Sunday cyclists will particularly appreciate this easy route.

For the more sporty, Lourdes is the ideal base camp for tackling the legendary passes of the Pyrenees. Imagine climbing the Tourmalet or Aubisque, the giants that have forged the legend of the Tour de France! If the climb is demanding, the feeling of accomplishment at the summit is incomparable, as are the breathtaking panoramas.

Spring and autumn offer ideal conditions for exploring the region by bike. Temperatures are mild and nature explodes with color. In summer, set off early to avoid the afternoon heat. Whatever the season, the pure air of the Pyrenees accompanies you around every bend.

At Bike & Py, bike hire in Lourdes takes on a personalized dimension. We'll advise you on the itineraries best suited to your level and desires. Whether electric bikes, mountain bikes or road bikes, their fleet can be adapted to suit any exploration project.

At the end of the day, after exploring the Vallée des Gaves or visiting the picturesque surrounding villages, there's nothing like taking a break on a terrace to enjoy a local drink while gazing at the mountains. This is what the Lourdes cycling experience is all about: an adventure that combines physical effort, cultural discoveries and moments of pure contemplation in a grandiose natural setting.
