The ride

From Luzaide / Valcarlos the road climbs for 81.4 km of paved riding, with 2817 m of elevation gain along the way. You roll past the Luzaide ibaia river, then follow the Nive d'Arnéguy and La Nive rivers toward the Citadelle de Saint Jean Pied de Port. After the castle, the route continues past the Urbeltza river and brings you back to where you started. Rivers, a castle and plenty of climbing — that's the shape of this loop.
