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.
Join us in Les Cabannes, at the foot of the Beille plateau, on Saturday 12 September from 10.00 am to 2.00 pm
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 take you on a ride through one of the Pyrenees’ must-do routes: the climb up to the Beille plateau.
In doing so, you will cross 4 cols points over 35 km, with 1,350 m of elevation gain (Pas du Lièvre FR-09-0700 – Pas de la Porteille FR-09-1528 – Pas de Roland FR-09-1702b – Col de Piparlam FR-09-1880).

The Bernardini circuit is on tarmac. The first col is slightly off the tarmac. The last one, the Piparlan col, is reached after about 1.5 km on a track past the Beille Plateau ski resort. It is therefore cycleable, but on an unpaved «road».

Anyone who has already climbed Beille is welcome to join Christophe, Bruno and me on another route from 2.00 pm
Covering around 15 km and with 600 m of elevation gain, this mountain bike route (OR 23581052) takes in 3 cols passes: Pas de Toulzan 09-0935, Col Darques 09-0732 and Pas del Faouré 09-0700. A short circuit with little elevation gain, but expect to walk along some of the trails.

Gpx tracks soon available
