Arrival of the group and transfer from the airport or station to the Arcé **** hotel in Saint-Étienne-de-Baïgorry.

Departure from the hotel at around 10 a.m. for an 85 km ride with 1620 metres of ascent. On the programme: the ascent of the Urquiaga and Artesiaga passes, a beautiful 15 km descent, and the Ispéguy pass on the Spanish side. Return to the hotel at the end of the day.
Difference in altitude: 1590 D+.
Distance: 100 kilometres
A 100km ride with 1740 metres of ascent is on the programme. After a flat warm-up, we'll climb the Col d'Ispéguy on the French side, offering a gradual, panoramic ascent. Then it's on to the Otxondo pass in Spain. The route passes through the charming towns of Espelette, famous for its chillies, and Itxassou, famous for its cherries and bucolic setting. The Pas de Roland pass adds a touch of history.
For more experienced cyclists, the Artzamendi pass (+20 km and 900 m D+) is an additional challenge, reputed to be one of the most difficult in Europe.
Difference in altitude: 1480 D+.
Distance: 72 kilometres
A 72km ride with 1600 metres of ascent, featuring lesser-known but equally magnificent passes in the heart of the Basque Country. The route takes in views of the surrounding valleys and mountains, offering total immersion in the natural beauty of the region. The return to the hotel in the early afternoon gives you time to prepare for the transfer to the airport (or elsewhere), bringing your stay to a close.
All outings are accompanied by a qualified road instructor.
Technical assistance vehicle with a toolbox, workshop stand, bar for hanging bikes, solid and liquid supplies (Powerbar), storage boxes for participants' belongings.
Here it's not the road that surrounds the hotel, but the water of the Nive d'Urepel and the mountains. You can relax on the terrace shaded by hundred-year-old plane trees planted by Octavie, with your feet along the river or by the pool. Everything is done to guarantee a return to your roots in the serenity of nature.
- Board included in stay
After a day's cycling, the Restaurant Arcé is sure to tantalise your taste buds. Here you'll find gourmet cuisine that judiciously combines traditional dishes with modern refinement. The local produce is prepared with a view to passing on the culinary heritage handed down from the elders.

All routes can be adapted to suit the level of the group.
Anyone who comes for a supervised or unsupervised outing using Joe Bike's services must come with a bike that is in perfect working order and suited to their morphology and physical condition: size of bike, gear ratio appropriate for a mountain route. Workshop services provided during the raid are intended as a breakdown service following an unforeseeable incident (e.g. puncture) and not as a workshop service that could be anticipated in advance by the bike owner. Parts changed will be invoiced at the end of the day.
On the other hand, all participants can take advantage of the bike hire service and the appropriate equipment for mountain biking.
Helmets must be worn throughout the outing!
Participants are strongly advised to bring their own shoes and automatic pedals (of the brand they prefer) as well as clothing for all types of weather (rain, cold, wind).
- A bike in perfect working order with a suitable gear ratio (50/34 x 11//32 or 34 for a rider capable of doing a 1 or 2-bucket course & 52/36×11/32 or 34 or 50/34 x 11/30 to 34 for a 3-bucket rider).
- A ventilated helmet
- A pair of sunglasses
- A pair of cycling gloves or mittens.
- A pair of automatic shoes with wedges in good condition!
- A chasuble or windbreaker and a rain jacket.
- A pair of cuffs
- a cap
