Bring your bicycle or mountain bike to the campsite

The Ariège provides a wonderful natural arena for your bicycles rides. If proof is needed, note that the Tour de France passes through the Ariège practically every year! Some of the department’s heights, like the Beille plateau, the Col de Port mountain pass or the Mur de Péguère pass have all become popular stages in the iconic French cycling race.

During your holiday in our campsite in the Ariège, you too can pedal through these amazing mountain landscapes. A host of mountain bike trails are to be discovered. There are varying levels of difficulty, from green to black. You can even set off easily straight from Yelloh! Village Le Pré Lombard.

For mountain bikers, the  Ax 3 Domaines Bikepark is also worth a trip. Ride around the specially adapted trails, which are again suited to different levels. The ideal place for downhill mountain biking fans as there is a total 1,400-metre vertical drop!

Finally, for some lovely cycle rides with the family, there are 2 greenways in the Ariège. The first starts out from Foix and goes as far as Saint-Girons, while the second links Lavelanet to Mirepoix.

For several years now, the L’Ariégeoise Cyclo-sport Challenge has started just 400 metres from the Le Pré Lombard campsite. The race is the highlight on the department’s cycling calendar. It is open to all cycling enthusiasts with different routes available for you to (re-)discover the splendid circuits around the Ariège Pyrenees.

The Cyclosportive takes place in June every year. The event draws large crowds, so you are strongly recommended to book your rental accommodation or pitch at the campsite in advance. Reserve as early as November, for example!

While we’re on the subject of cycling, note that our Ariège campsite has been awarded the “Accueil Vélo” (Cyclists Welcome) label. This is a national scheme that helps cyclists find accommodation and service providers near all the cycle routes in France.

Le Pré Lombard is proud to be a member of this scheme. In addition, our campsite offers a number of services:

• The mountain chalet, where information is provided on the cycle routes in the Ariège
• A bicycle garage where you can store or repair your two-wheeler
• A luggage storage service, so you can pedal along unencumbered
• You can also recharge the batteries of your electric bikes

You weren’t able to bring your bike with you? Don’t worry! You can hire a bicycle or mountain bike from our rental partner just 800 metres from the campsite. If you book ahead, your bicycle will be brought to you on site, on the day of your choice.

In addition, at our campsite you can hire city bikes and children’s bikes.

Have a great ride!
