Both sides of the Pyrenees are popular spots for winter sports such as [[alpine skiing]] and [[mountaineering]]. The Pyrenees are also a good place for athletes to do high-elevation training in the summer, such as by bicycling and cross-country running.

In the [[summer]] and the [[autumn]], the Pyrenees are usually featured in two of cycling's grand tours, the [[Tour de France]] held annually in July and the [[Vuelta a España]] held in September. The stages held in the Pyrenees are often crucial legs of both tours, drawing hundreds of thousands of spectators to the region.

Three main [[long-distance footpath]]s run the length of the mountain range: the [[GR 10]] across the northern slopes, the [[GR 11 (Spain)|GR 11]] across the southern slopes, and the [[Haute Randonnée Pyrénéenne|HRP]] which traverses peaks and ridges along a high elevation route. In addition, there are numerous marked and unmarked trails throughout the region.

''[[Pirena (race)|Pirena]]'' is a dog-[[mushing]] competition held in the Pyrenees.
