La Grande Traversée VTT des Pyrénées - Sare - Hendaye

Last stage to the waves of Hendaye Bay. Once over the Col d'Ibardin, it's a festival of singles overlooking the Basque coast, punctuated by the technical descent of the Xoldokogaina.

This itinerary starts from one of the most beautiful villages in France, crosses the border behind the Rhune and reaches the Ibardin pass where you can have a snack. Finally, the tough climb to Xoldokogaina and the Calvary mountain will allow you to admire the ocean before going for a dip on the beach of Hendaye.



How to get there

From St-Jean-de-Luz, follow the D916 for 6 km to Ascain. Follow signs for Col de St-Ignace and Sare. Continue for about 6 km. With vans, it's easier to go through St-Pée-sur-Nivelle.
