Program

Welcome

Welcome in the village of Arestuí, a Romanesque village in the Pallars Sobirá area. Check into your accommodation and join us for a delicious dinner in the evening.

Arestui - Espui

The first section you ride along the south side of the National Park Aigüestortes / Estany Sant Maurici. It's a steep climb of 31 km and takes you up to 2,000 metres above sea level.

On the way you will enjoy the beautiful high mountain meadows of the Montsent de Pallars. After this climb you cross the Val Fosca and via a steep descent you arrive in Espui.

  • Distance: 49 km.
  • Ascending altimeters: 1460 metres

Espui - Pont de Suert

This second stage brings you to Pont de Suert, the last Catalan village of your trip. This stage is rougher and a bit more technical than the first stage. You'll have to face a few short, but pretty difficult sections, but otherwise it's plenty of fun...

  • Distance: 53 km.
  • Ascending altimeters: 1600 metres

Pont de Suert - Castejón de Sos

A very beautiful and rewarding stage along the north side of the Turbón (2492 meters high). The route leads through dark pine forests and eventually brings you to the beautiful mountain village of Castejón de Sos in the valley of Benasque.

  • Distance: 52 km.
  • Ascending altimeters: 1430 metres

Castejón - Castejón

This morning you can leave your luggage unpacked, because you'll stay another day in Castejón de Sos. It's the beating heart of the MTB area Puro Pirineo. Today you will make an astonishing trip with views of the 72 peaks of over 3000 meters altitude in this area.

  • Distance: 58 km.
  • Ascending altimeters: 1300 metres

Castejón de Sos - La Fortunada

Today, it's on! You get challenged with two mountain passes above 2000 metres before arriving in the Sobrarbe region. You cross the rugged Chistau Valley, after which you arrive in the village of Bielsa. Now you enter into the world famous Enduro area Zona Zero.

  • Distance: 62 km.
  • Ascending altimeters: 1600 metres

La Fortunada - Broto

As always, there is the sting in the tail: today you will face two stunning mountain passes above 2000 meters. On the way you will cross the famous national park Ordesa & Monte Perdido. Other than working hard, certainly look around, because the natural beauty here is unsurpassed!

  • Distance: 64 km.
  • Ascending altimeters: 1700 metres

Safe travels!

After a good breakfast you'll be brought back to the starting point of the tour in the taxi. From there you can travel on to your next destination.

Heerlijk gegeten in restaurant Chill-Outdoor. Veel lekkere vegetarische opties en heel leuk personeel!
CONCHI BAEZ MELERO
Una experiencia fantástica. Éramos un grupo de 15 personas y nos atendieron con una amabilidad increíble. Tanto el chico como la chica que nos sirvieron fueron encantadores. El menú estaba riquísimo, el espacio es de 10 y, para rematar, nos recomendaron un lugar de baño en el río que fue espectacular. Sin duda, cuando volvamos a la zona repetiremos.
Luisa Martinez
Super recomendable, servicio genial y muchas opciones sin gluten para celíacos. Hemos venido varios días que nos hemos alejado por la zona.

Claudio Creis Cavero
Sitio tranquilo con sabores originales. Fuera corre el viento y se está muy agusto. El camarero Holandés muy simpático y camarera Julieta muy educada.

Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Heel fijn om in dit restaurant te eten. In tegenstelling tot veel Spaanse restaurants, heb ik op deze plek, als vegetarisch/ vegan georiënteerde bezoeker ook veel te kiezen. Heerlijk! Een plek waar duurzaamheid, gezelligheid en kwaliteit mooi samen komen. Super aanrader.
