Why Ardiden Velos
Top Quality bikes - Best location for your Tourmalet bike rentals and 5 star service
Top Quality Bike Rentals
All of our 2026 rental bikes are either new, or late model BIANCHI or CUBE bikes. To make sure that you get up the local cols, our bikes are geared for the mountains and all of our carbon road bikes have a compact 50/34 and 11×34 cassette. If you need a bit of assistance, our electric road / gravel bikes have even lower gearing, with a 42T Crank and 10×51 cassette. Our CUBE electric mountain bikes have a minimum 625w battery for exceptional range, up to 80 or 90 km in the high mountains.
Best Location for the Tourmalet and Luz Ardiden
Our shop is situated right in the center of Luz-Saint-Sauveur, opposite the Tourist Office. We are not just in the best location if you want to climb the Col du Tourmalet, but you can ride straight from our shop to climb no less than 6 other Pyrenees cols that feature regularly in the Tour de France. The Col d’Aspin, Luz Ardiden, Hautacam, the Col du Soulor, Col de Spandelles and the Col d’Aubisque. There are no long valley rides to get to the big mountains, (you’re already there) and these are some of the most spectacular and challenging bike rides you’ll find anywhere in Europe. For more details of these and some of our other favorite bike routes, including the magnificent Col des Tentes and the Cirque de Troumouse, check out our Road Bike Routes.

When to Ride
The best time of the year to visit Luz-Saint-Sauveur
Our cycling season:
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
