Upon arrival at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, you’ll be transferred roughly 2.5 hours into Val d’Aran, a valley where nearly a third of the land sits above 2,000 m (6,562 ft) in the heart of the Pyrenees. After settling in, bikes get assembled and checked over before a short warm-up loop around the valley to shake off travel legs and dial in the setup.
