around 10-07-2026
SNÖ Hotels is once again championing sports tourism with The SNÖ Challenge, a cycling traverse that connects four of the chain's establishments through the Pyrenees. Over several stages, a team of 16 cyclists will cover 581 kilometers and over 12,000 meters of accumulated elevation gain, highlighting some of the most spectacular mountain landscapes and the chain's accommodation network: SNÖ Isaba, SNÖ Aragón Hills, SNÖ Hotel Bielsa, SNÖ Vall de Boí, and SNÖ Mont Romies.
More than a sporting challenge, this initiative reflects the chain's philosophy: offering authentic experiences where sport, nature, and hospitality come together to create unforgettable memories. Each stage connects different destinations, allowing participants to discover the richness of the Pyrenees while enjoying services adapted for cycle tourism.
With this offering, SNÖ continues to establish itself as a benchmark for cycling enthusiasts, promoting active and sustainable tourism that energizes mountain destinations year-round.
A new challenge on the horizon: Cycling Experience Pirineos
The spirit of the SNÖ Challenge continues. From August 3rd to 6th, SNÖ Hotels joins Hemön, Logos Energía, and Wattios Coffee to launch the Cycling Experience Pirineos, a 3-night, 4-day package to discover some of the most iconic Pyrenean mountain passes, based at two hotels specially equipped for cyclists: SNÖ Aragón Hills (Formigal) and SNÖ Isaba.
The program combines three road stages between Formigal, Col du Marie Blanque, Portalet, Col du Labays, La Pierre Saint-Martin, Isaba, and Sabiñánigo — with distances ranging from 101 to 138 km per day and up to 2,871 m of positive elevation gain — including a professional cycling guide, support vehicle, luggage transport, aid stations, GPS tracks, and access to wellness areas for recovery after each stage.
The package includes accommodation, breakfast and dinner, luggage transfer, support vehicle, professional guide, Bike Friendly facilities, and access to wellness areas, so participants only have to worry about enjoying every pedal stroke.
