La Passéjade & Passéjad’Élec – the leisure rides of L’Ariégeoise
Signing up for La Passéjade or Passéjad’Élec means joining the big celebration of the L’Ariégeoise cyclosportive in the heart of Ariège.
Whether you’re looking to take on a personal challenge, enjoy a beautiful ride with friends, or simply experience L’Ariégeoise without the pressure of the stopwatch, La Passéjade is made for you.
The Passéjad’Élec version offers the same route on a e-bike / electrically assisted bike (VAE).
Don’t be fooled: this route is not as easy as it looks.
After the same start as the other routes from Tarascon-sur-Ariège, you follow the valley to the castle of Foix on your first pass through the town. From there, you tackle a sequence of climbs and descents in the heart of the Barguillère valley, on classic Ariège Pyrenean roads.
On your second passage through Tarascon-sur-Ariège, you’ll ride through the old town before heading back up the valley towards Auzat. The finish line is located at the sports ground in Auzat, shared with the main L’Ariégeoise routes.
In the end, congratulations: you’ve achieved the goal of 71 km and 1,100 m of elevation gain—a mountain cycling route that’s accessible yet demanding, perfect for fully immersing yourself in the atmosphere of the 30th edition of L’Ariégeoise.
