Bike Park temporarily closed
The Grand Tourmalet is getting ready for the future !
To welcome you even better, major works are currently underway to replace the Tournaboup chairlift with a brand-new gondola. This will significantly improve access to Plateau de la Laquette, including for pedestrians.
We tested it for you.

Personal safety
Wearing a helmet is mandatory. Follow the trail signage and don’t take unnecessary risks: only ride features suited to your level. Always check jumps before hitting them (basic rule if you don’t want to end up in a tree).
In case of an accident (hopefully not)
Call 112 and give emergency services the number and colour of the nearest marker.
Environment
