Description

A proposal for cyclo-mountaineering in the northern valleys of Aran, with a very high percentage of singletrails. Mountain lakes, alpine meadows, old cattle huts… in a high mountain environment between the Unhòla valleys and the headwaters of Noguera Pallaresa.

The route is unmarked, you need to download and follow the GPS track. It should be borne in mind that although it is not long, the altitude gain is significant and the climb up from Plan de Tor to Còth de Montoliu is very hard when not done by ebike.

Description

Loop through the Naut Aran, following tracks and some sections of trail that will take us to know the highest villages of Val d’Aran: Tredòs, Baqueira and Bagergue, and to visit the paths conditioned for the practice of mountain biking in the resort of Baqueira Beret.
This route has several options:
– 80A: From Orri go down directly to Baqueira 1500 by “la Cascada 80A”.
– 80B: Route that shows the GPS track and the map. From Baqueira 1800 go down the green descent “la Tortuga 80B”.
– 80C: From Baqueira 1800 go down the blue route “el Bosque 80C”, with steeper slopes and big berms.
On a gravel bike it may be better to do the uphill section by road between the Beret road junction and the Orri junction.
This route can also be started in Bagergue, Baqueira or Tredòs.

Description

The Sanglièr descent is the first to open in the Enduromies sector and it has become a classic for many reasons. Natural verms, unbeatable flow, speed, small rock steps and a roller coaster ride that you can’t get out of your mind.

The ascent is easy along the Montromies track, which you will have to get in Gessa. On crowded days, keep in mind that you may find pedestrians at the end of the singletrail, and that they have preference. Be able to control your bike at all times!

Description

Fantastic route, not only for the quality of the descents, which are very good, but also in terms of landscape and discovery.

From Salardú the route enters the Aiguamòg valley towards the Colomèrs lakes, passing through Banhs de Tredòs. Here we have already made a half climb and we can recover energy to continue the ascent towards the alpine meadows of Coret de Prüedo. To get to the beginning of the descent, the route follows the old maintenance trail of a hydroelectric canal to the Arties chamber. This part, despite being flat, is very spectacular for the views and the aerial sensation of the route. The descent begins in the chamber: 800 m drop in 4 km of fantàstic singletrail, with the apotheosis end of the roller coaster of Salardú. Watch out for pedestrians!

Description

The Meddia trail is one of the classics of the Tuca sector, especially recovered for the practice of trail-enduro. It is a path with steep steps and roots, but also with fast and fluid sections, everything in a shady fir environment, full of mosses and ferns. The ascent along Bargadèra track is comfortable and never too hard.

If you have a good technical level, you can’t miss this descent and you can combine it with some of those in the Baricauba sector when coming back to Vielha, or follow up the valley towards Enduromies.

Description

The long track of Bargadèra will take you to discover this glacial valley above the village of Escunhau. Green forests, alpine meadows and the gift of a visit to a high mountain lake are the main attractions of this linear route.

The first part, up to km 9, runs through a shady forest of firs and mosses. The final part, already in the suspended glacial valley of Bargadèra, will allow you to enjoy open views between alpine meadows, until we reach the Pleta dera Lana. From here, an easy hike, or ride for the stronger bikers, will take us to Estanhó d’Escunhau and its icy waters. Many chamois and marmots inhabit this magnificent corner of the Pyrenees, so stay alert to see them!

A short and easy family trip through the lower part of the Tuca forests which will allow you to both visit Betren and Escunhau and also do a bike riding test on the first descent. If you like the route, it can be extended with the fantastic Camin de Hèr: watch out and, as soon as you start the second descent, along the track, take the Tuca detour and follow the signs for route 61. Just after a kilometer you will find the entrance to the singletrack (61A), wich is easy and fun.
