Every cyclist has heard the name of this legendary cyclosportive, which has been held in the Alps for over 40 years.   Fewer have heard of its little sister, the Marmotte Granfondo Pyrénées! Highly recommended by all those who have already had the good fortune and courage to complete it, this event is the perfect late-summer challenge.

The Marmotte Granfondo Pyrénées is undoubtedly renowned for its difficulty and the succession of its  legendary passes, allowing you to discover the incredible landscapes of the Pyrenees.

The Marmotte Granfondo Pyrénées offers two routes, the Granfondo (177km and 5,700m of elevation gain) and its series of 5 passes (Tourmalet / Hourquette d’Ancizan / Aspin / Tourmalet / Hautacam) and the Défi du Tourmalet (122km and 4 200m of elevation gain). For this 2024 edition, we’re bringing the start and finish closer together to facilitate logistics for all the participants.
