Bernardini Pyrenean Rally, Saturday 12 September 2026

This meeting will be held at the end of the club's summer break, which will take place from 5 to 12 at Soueix in Ariège.
Rendezvous at Les Cabannes, at the foot of the Plateau de Beille, on Saturday 12 September from 10.00 a.m. to midday.
Fred Singla, accompanied by President Christophe Badonnel, Jean-Pierre Monzie and Bruno Vienet, will be pleased to offer cheese and wine donated by the Club des Cent Cols.

Circuits

The Bernardini will enable you to tackle a must in the Pyrenees: the ascent of the Plateau de Beille.
In doing so, you will cross 4 passes in 35 km with 1350 m of ascent (Pas du Lièvre FR-09-0700 - Pas de la Porteille FR-09-1528 - No Roland FR-09-1702b - Piparlam pass FR-09-1880)
Those who have already climbed Beille can join Christophe, Bruno and me on another route from midday.
45 km and 1550 m ascent, 4 passes, Col Dolent FR-09-1161 - Col du Sasc FR-09-1798 - Pas de l'Escalier FR-09-1861 - Col de Larnat FR-09-1194

Depending on the weather, the afternoon's route may be shorter, covering 30 km and 1,375 m of ascent, but still allowing you to cross 5 passes (Col Dolent FR-09-1161 - Col del Tail de Poumard FR-09-1197 - Col de Larnat FR-09-1194 - Col de Lafajole FR-09-1245a - Col de Nix FR-09-0815c).
On this route, the Col de Nix can be skipped, which shortens the circuit by 2 km and, more importantly, by 275 m of ascent.

The Bernardini route is by road. The 1.5 km from the car park to the Piparlam pass (09-1880) is by mule but can be cycled.
The other two circuits are mountain bike or gravel.
