3 Nations
Departing from Puigcerdà, the 3 Nations Race is the only one in the world that crosses three countries, giving a distinctive touch to each of them. We will travel through the Catalan Pyrenees, the French Pyrenees, and Andorra, passing through mythical and well-known mountain passes such as the Port d’Envalira, with a elevation gain of 2,407 meters, being the highest paved mountain pass in Europe. All these characteristics make it a unique tour: three countries, 140 kilometers through the legendary mountain passes of world cycling.
The 3 Nations cycling tour is a classic in the Catalan racing calendar with 40 years old. The race is held every June and Puigcerdà becomes for one day the capital of Catalan cycling.
