Ariégeoise cyclosport - L'Ariégeoise CyclosportiveL'Ariégeoise Cyclosportive

The Cyclosportive of the Pyrenees

This year will be the 29th edition of the Ariégeoise cyclosportive.

The 29th edition and not the least with the passage of the 2 Ariège giants: the Col de Pailhères and the Plateau de Beille.

The Col de Pailhères!!! We have a score to settle and we must overcome our frustration at having had to cancel it in 2024.

Why the Plateau de Beille? Because Tadej Pogačar’s resounding victory on the finish of the 14th stage of the Tour de France 2024 gave us wings.

Notice to amateurs, there is a new record to beat!!!

It is true that the Plateau de Beille is one of the emblematic passes of the Ariégeoise and for this new edition all the races, except the Passejade, will arrive at its summit.

With these 2025 circuits, we hope to welcome 4000 cyclists of all nationalities, ready to tackle the slopes of the Ariège Pyrenees. Speaking of the Pyrenees: they have become the benchmark for cyclists for their sumptuous landscapes, their steep roads, their wild fauna and flora, their mountain villages. The Pyrenees are a dream and thousands of cyclists cross them every year, taking a few days of cycling holidays to surpass themselves on the famous crossing of the Pyrenees.

Cycling in Ariège means being in the heart of the Pyrenees with the benefit of using magnificent roads that are very little used by motorists. “The cyclists’ paradise”.

The Ariégeoise is a challenge for everyone, whatever their level and the chosen circuit, it is one of the challenges of the season.

Over the years, the Ariégeoise VTT (5th edition) has also become a benchmark in this area.

The proposed routes are extraordinary, the mountain bikers who have the chance to be part of the 600 registered have a smile while drinking their beer at the end of the hike. The team of volunteers for the Ariégeoise VTT is growing every year. They like to meet in this relaxed atmosphere in the middle of all these muscular and electric mountain bikes. Be careful for electrics on the Ariégeoise VTT and Plasuzat circuits, you will certainly need 2 batteries. It’s going up strong.

Mountain bikers friends, read our good conduct charter, it is important to respect fences, fauna, local flora, our breeders, the land of the owners who allow us to pass by their homes.

We have created the concept of the Permanent Ariégeoise for you. Entirely free, it allows you to cycle in Ariège by giving you the opportunity to win the Permanent Ariégeoise jersey, participate in challenges, and achieve challenges.

Ariège is a true cycling country, whether you are spending a short stay or a long holiday, you will appreciate the Ariège hospitality.

Looking forward to seeing you on the bike.

La Foll'Ariégeoise

Welcome to the Foll’Ariégeoise, the crazy rendezvous of the Ariégeoise!

In 2023, we introduced a new festive event to spice up your pre-race.

The concept is simple: the start is from the Ariégeoise exhibition village, with a spectacular finish on the heights of old Tarascon. Originality and conviviality are paramount, as the winner will be selected by a panel of judges who will assess the disguise, the bike and the general atmosphere created.

There’s a tempting prize at stake: your weight in Destral beer! Registration is free and open to all, so don’t hesitate to take part.

Don’t forget the date: Friday 28 June 2024 for the second edition of the Foll’Ariégeoise. Come and enjoy a unique experience combining cycling and conviviality!

Expo Village

Explore the Village Expo de l’Ariégeoise, a great place to meet up with friends and various players in the cycling market, including manufacturers, bike shops and distributors. Admire more than 40 exhibitors, professionals and sponsors, spread over more than 1,000 m² of exhibition space, which also includes local products and leisure activities, such as tourist sites and course organisers.

Every year, this not-to-be-missed event attracts 7,000 visitors, both cyclists and those accompanying them, creating a festive and convivial atmosphere around the many exhibition tents. In the heart of the village, on Friday 28 June, participants collect their race numbers, while the following day, at the finish site, exhibitors welcome the riders after many hours of effort.

The organisers are offering exhibitors, partners and institutions the opportunity to set up a stand over the two days, guaranteeing maximum service to the runners. Extra-sporting activities will enliven the village, with musical entertainment, exhibitions and many other surprises to discover!
