Please find details of our 2021 cycling tours calendar. Our bookings from 2020 are being honoured (due to Covid19) and are currently being re-booked for 2021, therefore places may be limited next summer. For this reason we recommend contacting us at your earliest convenience at cyclingtours@thecolcollective.com to express your interest and reserve your place on tour.

In 2021 we have taken the decision to operate all of our tours from our guest house in the heart of the Hautes-Pyrenees. This ensures that we can manage each detail of your tour including hygiene standards, guest safety and comfort. We are keeping group sizes to a maximum of just 8 on all tours with the highest staff to guest ratio in the business, typically 1:2. It is for this reason, and until the Covid19 bubble has passed, that we will not be hosting tours out of hotels where we can’t control all hygiene standards.

Thank you for your support. Together we climb higher.

About the house

Located in the heart of the Hautes Pyrénées with views towards the 2,877m Pic du Midi de Bigorre, The Col Collective HQ is a perfect base for cyclists looking to tackle the most prestigious Hors Catégorie climbs, gentle rolling roads or even flatter farmlands that give this area so much charm and character.

We have 5 beautifully appointed en-suite guest bedrooms which can hold a total of 12 people. All of our rooms are named after local peaks or cols and each bring their own unique feel of the Hautes Pyrénées to life.

4 rooms are located in the Grange and 1 room is located in the Maison de Maître. All are warmly appointed and allow for peaceful relaxation and recovery after a great day of cycling. Each room is private and spacious and offers flexible accommodation with the choice of either two single beds or one super king size bed. Complimentary services available in each room include:

• Stretch mats and foam roller
• NormaTec Recovery System
• Tea and coffee making facilities
• Hairdryer…..gotta look good off the bike
• Safe for valuables
• Towels
• Soap and shampoo
• WIFI

Après velo we welcome you to enjoy our pool, also known as ’the recovery zone’, cultivate your tan lines in our generously sized courtyard or take a spin into town for a coffee and culture.
