Theme

The Club des Cent Cols, founded in 1972, is affiliated to the French Cycling Federation under No. 6384, offers you this permanent walk based on a simple theme: "One hundred passes".

One hundred passes, either to allow you to join the Confrérie du Club des Cent Cols, or to allow you to progress in the Confrérie's "Tableau d'Honneur", or in any case to help you discover or rediscover the Pyrenees in all their aspects.

One hundred passes, the main ones in the Pyrenees, located not only in France but also in Spain and Andorra, so you can enjoy a breathtaking international tour.

One hundred and eight passes (including 5 at an altitude of over 2,000 m) in 1,490 km (for a total height difference of at least 27,000 m).
