THE CAMPILARO IN A GLIMPSE

The Campilaro is a 3 day, 4 stages cyclo sportive created in 2015 offering full service to all cycling enthusiasts, race riders and cyclo tourists, licensees and non-licensees, aged 18 and more. All participants can register solo or as a team.

Managed and powered by experienced regional organizers, the Campilaro proposes an unique Pyrenean experience: crossing with full support and comfort the mythical climbs that wrote and are still writing cycling history.

Its format is also unique: the Campilaro is timed only on selected climbs, giving each rider in the peloton the chance to manage the race as she or he wishes.

Riders followers, friends and families will also enjoy the quality of the Pyrenean hospitality and will be able to follow the race with precise road book information.

The Campilaro is strictly limited to 198 bib numbers, honoring the number of riders in historical cycling Grands Tours and staying faithful to its values of proximity and exclusivity.

For its fourth edition, our cyclo sportive confirms its international dimension by both returning to and by welcoming more and more riders from all over the world: Belgium, Mexico, Romania, Canada and New Zealand, to name a few, were all represented on the 2017 edition!

This upcoming edition features a new route around two host cities, Luchon and Vielha in the Val d'Aran, with always the same desire, to introduce our guests to the legendary Pyrenean passes:

Those famous passes climbed in major professional cycling events such as the Tour de , the Vuelta or the Route du Sud ... what would indeed these great tours be without these roads once carved into the mountain to link the valleys and which are now at the heart of the legend of the sport.

We don’t forget either the less publicly known passes, away from the mythical roads but equally grandiose in terms of difficulty and aesthetics!

A new format of 4 stages over three days has been developed. During the second day there will be 2 half stages, starting in the morning with an individual time trial.

Campilaro 2018 is to take place from July 19th to 22nd, for a total of about 330 kilometers and 8,000 meters of ascent.

Arrivals are scheduled for Thursday, July 19th in Luchon.

The 2018 route includes 8 major mountain passes: The Port de Balès (1755 m), the Col de Mente (1350 m), the Col des Ares (797m), Superbagnères (1800 m), the Col du Portillon (1296 m), the Bassa d’Oles (1599 m), Les Agudes (1560 m) and the Bourg d’Oueil.

‘’ Campilaro was brilliantly organised and I had a fantastic time. The course was very enjoyable and the logistics were great (the transfer of luggage, the motos support and the briefings). The size of the event was perfect and and I will encourage my friends to join next year! ‘’

‘’ It was my first ''stage'' cyclo sportive and everything was perfect: quality of the routes, diversity of the feed zones food, security, timing... thank you! The Campilaro is unique, I'll be back! ‘’

AND NOT ONLY FOR THE BIKE RIDES AND THE ASTONISHING LANDSCAPES…

France is also known worldwide for its ‘’art of the table’’ and on the Campilaro, nutiriton takes the gourmet way. Coming from and following every stage of the race, our dedicated catering service cooks and prepares on the spot, with fresh local ingredients, well balanced meals established with our nutritionists after each race day.

The tasting pleasure adds up to the physical and visual enjoyment of the day on the Campilaro!

‘’ We come as a group every year since the first edition in 2014. One of the freedom of the Campilaro is that each one of us can ride at his own pace – but we are always all together at the dinner table for sure – delicious and essential for a good recovery – bravo Chef! ‘’ REGISTRATION FEES • ACCOMODATION PACKAGES • MASSAGE OPTIONS
