Ardiden Velos Testimonials
What they're saying about us - Check out our latest independant reviews
Tourmalet Cycling
Ideal location for cycling up to Col du Tourmalet. My Scott Addict 10 was in great condition, the downhill rides were awesome! The best I've ever enjoyed! Great fun riding up and down Luz Ardiden ski station as well. Thanks Niki for showing me the routes. Beautiful scenery everywhere especially at Lake Gloriettes and Cirque De Gavarnie.
Perfect Bikes for the Pyrenees
We couldn't have been happier with the bikes were rented. I take a bike on the small side, and they gave me an excellent bike that was exactly the same size as requested. It's also worth a visit to their shop where they carry an excellent selection of jerseys and goods. Several in our group stocked up on nice memorabilia there.
Professional, friendly service, high quality equipment
This is the second time we have rented bikes from Ardiden Velos. As with our first occasion it is difficult to fault the professional and comprehensive, as well as the very friendly, service provided by Ardiden Velos. The bikes are of the of the highest quality and the idiosyncrasies of some members of our group were happily accommodated.
Magic
Just rent from these people. Quality high-end equipment. Really cool clothing and accessories in shop. British couple who were kind and very attentive. Magical experience all around.
Tour de France Weekend
Service was second to none, the road bikes we hired were top quality and condition. Considering this was possibly the busiest weekend they could ever have with the Tourmalet stage of the TDF on their doorstep, the staff could not have had more time for us in setting up the bikes and advising on routes. I will be back!
What a Gem!
What a great place to rent bikes. The shop is well located in Luz St. Sauveur, close to the bottom of Col de Tourmalet. The bikes we rented were lovely high end Scotts, offered in a generous range of sizes, Enough gears (11-32) to get you up the steeps! We can’t say enough good things about this place. We will go back soon!
Excellent road bike rental
They also provided great advice on the routes in the area.

When to Ride
The best time of the year to visit Luz-Saint-Sauveur
When to Ride
At the beginning of the season during April and May, the weather can be changeable and it may be cold at the higher altitudes, so be prepared. The lower cols are rideable, but the Tourmalet and Aubisque are not normally open before about the middle of May.
July and August are normally hot and dry but there are always a few rainy days, while September is maybe the best month for road biking. The weather is a bit cooler than during the summer, so perfect for climbing.
The season lasts through to the end of October. For current weather conditions, see meteoblue.com
