Scaling the Pyrenees: High Passes & Spectacular Vistas
Experience the ultimate grand tour. Breathtaking mountain passes, spectacular scenery, and pure driving pleasure.
This carefully planned tour has been designed to offer the perfect balance of rewarding driving and well-deserved downtime. Rather than packing your bags every morning, this itinerary features several multiple-night stays to give you ultimate flexibility and plenty of chances for rest and relaxation.
Your journey takes you south through the beautiful Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Bordeaux regions of France, arriving for a two-night stay in the Michelin-starred Spanish coastal town of San Sebastián—the ideal place to unwind. From there, you’ll dive into the mountains before settling into a spectacular three-night stay at a 5-star restored monastery in the Pyrenees. Later in the week, you’ll enjoy a further two-night stopover in Andorra.
This means you can choose to experience legendary routes like the N260 and the Col du Tourmalet at your own comfortable rhythm, or simply leave the keys in your room and spend the day enjoying the local culture and luxury spa facilities. Concluding with a memorable visit to the iconic Le Mans 24hr circuit, this trip promises a spectacular mix of scenery, driving, and absolute comfort.

We’ll arrange your channel tunnel crossing at a time that suits you and your journey in the UK. You can either take an early crossing on the first day of the tour, or for a more relaxed start to your holiday you can take the crossing the day/evening before and spend the evening with us in our hotel just 10 minutes drive from the terminal in Calais.

After our tour briefing and issuing the sat-navs and radios, we’ll head south, passing historic towns including Rouen and Le Mans using the efficient French autoroutes. Our stop for the night is midway down western France in the scenic Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. There will be a welcome group meal organised—a perfect opportunity to relax, enjoy some local cuisine, and get to know your fellow travellers before the real driving begins.

Today we’ll be enjoying the rest of the scenic drive down to Spain, heading through the famous Bordeaux wine region and Nouvelle-Aquitaine. At the end of the day, we will be relaxing and enjoying a hearty Spanish dinner in the opulent coastal town of Donostia / San Sebastián. Known for its beautiful beaches and holding the most Michelin stars per capita, this is our luxurious home for the next couple of nights.

Today is entirely yours to choose what you would like to do with your free time. You might prefer heading into the vibrant city centre, enjoying a stroll along the famous beach, or simply relaxing in our wonderful hotel. If you’re still eager for some time behind the wheel, the Northern Spain coastal route offers a lovely, flowing drive, and we can provide you with all the details and route recommendations.

Today we’re heading out into the Pyrenees, and we have a fantastic driving day planned. Although this is not the highest area of the Pyrenees, the roads are beautifully quiet, and the vistas are astonishing. Expect multiple hill and mountain passes alongside a wide variety of wonderfully flowing roads. We’ll finish the day pulling into our spectacular home for the next three nights: a breathtakingly restored 17th-century monastery turned 5-star sanctuary.

We’ll finish the day pulling into our spectacular home for the next three nights: a breathtakingly restored 17th-century monastery turned 5-star sanctuary, perfectly located near the historic town of Ainsa, which you can visit during our stay.

We have a wonderfully diverse driving day ahead of us today. We’ll be heading north for the Cap de Long, the largest reservoir in the Pyrenees featuring a colossal dam over 100m high and an epic, sweeping approach road to match its grandeur. After soaking in the scenery, we’ll stop for a relaxed lunch in Arreau before enjoying the beautiful looping drive back to our hotel for our third and final night’s stay.

Prepare to experience a true bucket-list legend behind the wheel. Today we are tackling an absolute classic in terms of Spanish road trips: the famous N260. Renowned to motoring enthusiasts worldwide, this twisting ribbon of tarmac offers a beautifully scenic and endlessly enjoyable drive. This spectacular route eventually brings us to our next destination and the location of our two-night stop in Andorra, stopping en-route in the charming town of Benasque.

Today is another brilliant day where you won’t need to pack your suitcases. You can visit the capital for some tax-free shopping, or join us on a guided circular tour of the best mountain roads in Andorra, enjoying a spectacular lunch at 2,200 metres above sea level! Of course, you could also opt to take a full day out for rest and relaxation, making the most of the premium spa facilities at our fabulous hotel.

It is time to wave goodbye to the mountains as we head back into France today, making our steady progression North. We will enjoy a beautifully varied mix of main routes and sweeping, rural ‘D’ roads that carve through the stunning French countryside. Our destination for the evening brings us right into the heart of the world-renowned Bordeaux wine region, where we will enjoy a relaxing evening and a wonderful regional dinner.

Using the French Autoroutes, we’ll make good progress on our way back toward the channel. Offering a nod to motoring heritage, we’ll visit the Le Mans 24hr Museum and you’ll get a chance to casually drive sections of the iconic track located on the public highway. Alternatively, you can explore the fantastic Old Town of Le Mans. This is our final night, featuring a farewell meal to share our favourite trip moments.

After a final breakfast together, we will make our way back to Calais this morning in plenty of time for our scheduled channel crossings in the afternoon. If you have a particularly long onward journey ahead of you in the UK, we highly recommend organising an extra night’s stay near Calais or Folkestone. We are more than happy to advise on suitable hotels and can even book these accommodations for you if you wish.
