Ideal bike: Any mountain bike (MTB). The choice will depend on your priorities: less weight (rigid bike) or greater comfort and enjoyment of descents (full suspension bike). The ebike option is growing rapidly among users.
Tyres: Versatile tyres are the most appropriate, as there are many different types of terrain (rock slabs, paths, steps, tracks, loose stone sections, cobblestones, singletracks…). It is an area with a lot of vegetation and quite closed trails: the local bikers use tubeless or inner tubes with liquid sealant.
Orientation: Self-guided route with the help of a GPS, non-competitive and a great way for MTB enthusiasts to enjoy themselves. With a variety of landscapes between mountains, valleys and rivers, good gastronomy and the culture of the territory.
Best season: From 15th May to the end of October (depending on snow conditions). July and August check hotel availability.
Type of paths: The climbs are comfortable and cyclable, almost always on paths. On the descents there are plenty of trails and not very technical trialeras. But if you have a more technical or enduro profile, don’t worry, the route has very good trails and specific areas for MTB, some technical, others not so much. The route is 100% cyclable. However, the technique of each person is always decisive when it comes to follow or get off the bike at a certain point.
Philosophy: It is a self-guided and non-competitive route; the important thing is to enjoy mountain biking in its purest form.
Luggage transport: Considering the technical nature of the route, it is highly recommended to hire this service. The price depends on the number of people and stages of the route.
Mechanical assistance: The organisation offers a support service en route.
Refreshments: In all the stages you will pass through one or more villages where you can stop to eat and drink water. However, the refreshment service can be hired.
