The Basque Country with Loïc Chetout

Basque Country Experience – Between the ocean and the peaks of the Basque Country

The Basque Country is a land of character. From the ridges of the Basque Country to the roads of the Clasica San Sebastian, from the border passes to the beaches of the Atlantic, each outing is an immersion in a powerful, authentic and demanding territory.

Departing from Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle, this star-shaped course allows you to discover all the diversity of the Basque Country without changing hotels. Each day, two courses are offered in order to adapt the intensity to the level of each person.

You will ride on the mythical roads of the Clasica San Sebastian, cross the Ispéguy pass, cross emblematic villages such as Espelette, follow the panoramic ridges of the Basque Country and finish with a more rolling ride along the Basque beaches.

Supervised by Loïc Chetout and Simon Lhuilier, the course combines sporting requirements, safety and personalised support. Assistance vehicles, refreshments, technical briefings and thematic conferences punctuate the week.

The objective : to progress, to challenge oneself, but above all to enjoy an exceptional playground between sea and mountains.

The Basque Country cannot be told. It is lived. By bike.
