Legendary Pyrenees

18 Days | Barcelona to Barcelona | June 2027

Starting and finishing in vibrant Barcelona, this carefully crafted 18-day motorcycle adventure takes you deep into the heart of the Spanish and French Pyrenees before exploring the dramatic landscapes of the Gorge du Tarn and the rolling countryside of southern France.

The riding is simply exceptional. You'll experience many of Europe's most celebrated mountain roads, including the legendary Col du Tourmalet, Col d'Aubisque, Col du Pourtalet, and a collection of lesser-known roads that are every bit as rewarding. Expect flowing mountain curves, perfectly engineered switchbacks, quiet country lanes and breathtaking alpine scenery that make every day in the saddle a highlight.

But this tour is about far more than the roads.

You'll wander through beautifully preserved medieval villages such as Besalú, Solsona and Carcassonne, explore the remarkable rock formations of the Gorge du Tarn, admire the engineering masterpiece of the Millau Viaduct, and enjoy authentic local cuisine in regions renowned for their food and wine.

Like every Open Road Motorcycle Tour, this journey is designed for riders who appreciate the complete experience. We travel in small groups, stay in carefully selected boutique hotels full of local character, enjoy relaxed evenings over exceptional regional food, and take the time to experience each destination rather than simply ride through it.

With experienced Kiwi tour leaders, quality motorcycles and every detail professionally organised, all you need to do is enjoy some of the finest riding Europe has to offer.

Whether you've always dreamed of riding the Pyrenees or you're returning to discover them all over again, the Tour de Pyrenees & Gorge du Tarn promises unforgettable roads, incredible scenery, wonderful food and friendships that last long after the journey ends.

Ride. Explore. Repeat.
