Organiser's Description

The 2017 Haute Route Pyrenees features a spectacular Individual Time Trial and the simplest logistics yet, with only four race villages over 7 days of fully-timed and ranked racing. That means two nights in Pau from where stages 2 and 3 will be based, and three nights in Bagnères-de-Luchon, from where stages 5, 6 and 7 will begin. The course includes such established classic climbs as Tourmalet, Aubisque, Peyresourde and the Port de Balès, but adds a new challenge in the form of the Col du Portillon, a classic in professional racing. Also new is an Individual Time Trial from Bagnères-de-Luchon to the ski station at Superbagnères. This will be a true test for some of the World’s most committed amateur riders, but it will also suit riders looking to enjoy an unforgettable week in one of Europe’s most iconic and beautiful cycling regions. 910km with 9,300m of climbing over 7 days.
