Context
The Aragonese Pyrenees offer a rich natural environment with mountain biking trails crossing protected areas such as Ordesa and Monte Perdido, and the Sierra and Cañones de Guara. Typical routes cover around 34 km with a total elevation gain of 689 meters, blending wide roads with technical singletrack sections. The crisp mountain air carries the scent of pine and thyme, characteristic of this high-altitude region.
The Experience You’ll begin with a meet-up and safety briefing led by your guide, who will tailor the route to your ability. Ride through forests, along rivers, and across alpine terrain, with scheduled stops to rest and enjoy panoramic views from vantage points like the Castle of Loarre and the Buitres Viewpoint. The constant sound of the Gállego River runs through parts of the trail, adding a peaceful, refreshing atmosphere. Terrain changes from compact earth to rocky sections, testing your bike handling skills.
