Where the Tour de France becomes personal
Pyrénées Prime places guests inside the Tour de France's most decisive mountain terrain, riding iconic roads and standing roadside as the race passes at arm's length, with access to areas few spectators see. The focus is on understanding why the Pyrenees shape the race each year rather than chasing kilometres or collecting climbs.
The journey is hosted by Cadel Evans, Australia's only Tour de France winner (2011 champion, 11 Tour starts), who rides alongside guests and shares insight into professional pacing and race-week tactics. Guided, fully supported rides take in the Col d'Aubisque, Col d'Aspin, Col de Spandelles, Luz Ardiden and the Col du Tourmalet.
A "Heli Day" option adds paddock access, riding part of the course in an official Tour vehicle, a 20-minute helicopter flight over the race, and VIP hospitality beside a sprint finish.
Highlights:
- Ride the Tourmalet, Aubisque, Aspin, Spandelles and Luz Ardiden with Cadel Evans as host
- Roadside VIP viewing of Tour de France stages at close range
- Paddock and Start Village access
- Optional Heli Day: helicopter flight over the race plus VIP finish hospitality
- Farewell dinner in Pau
Surface and terrain:
Sealed mountain roads over the Pyrenees' classic climbs. Rides are guided and fully supported, paced for experience rather than performance targets.
Suitable for:
Tour de France enthusiasts wanting VIP race access with a professional host, riding at a measured pace rather than a performance-focused pace.
