Welcome to Velo Pyrenees

We are a guest house for cyclists, runners and triathletes, run by athletes for athletes of all abilities and those who enjoy the great outdoors. The central Pyrenees is an amazing area for running, road cycling and mountain biking. Triathletes and multi-sport athletes can take advantage of the high altitude alpine trails, swimming lakes and pools in the area.

We aim to be flexible and can cater for individuals, clubs or small groups of athletes. We offer free advice, mechanical services and local information. We help with training advice and itineraries, providing routes and maps.

Created for you

Our guest house and facilities have been specially created for cyclists, runners and triathletes in mind. The guest house is run by Julie and Lee - both keen and experienced athletes, very active in sport and who will be very happy to offer their help. We are happy to help plan or deliver your training sessions.

Why visit us?

We believe our guest house has the perfect location and set-up with a beautiful setting in the Barousse valley, where you can depart on gentle gradients to a great network of roads, running or MTB trails, famous cols and swimming lakes. We offer comfortable, spacious accommodation and provide high quality, healthy and wholesome home-cooked dinners that will ensure your energy levels are kept at maximum.

We are very flexible, enthusiastic and offer our advice, routes and guidance for free. As we want to ensure that you get the most out of your trip, we can help you by offering our knowledge of the area, together with the following services;

  • Maps and route cards for walking, running or cycling;
