Stage Description

First cycling stage of the French Way, a demanding day crossing the Pyrenees from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port (France) to Zubiri (Navarra). The 45 km combine the ascent along the Valcarlos route (more accessible for cyclists than the Napoleon route) with the descent to Roncesvalles and the subsequent descent to the Arga valley. This is a stage with a steep accumulated slope, ideal to prepare the legs before the great cycling tour along the French Way.
