Great trail-enduro loop, one of the most spectacular ones that Val d’Aran has to offer. It has everything to be considered a real challenge: distance, altitude gain, technical difficulty, height … An adventure that will take you through the alpine pastures of the Luishonés up to over 2000 m in the Poilanèr plains. From there, almost 1200 m of descent in 8 km of varied path: first, alpine traverses where you would say you cannot ride a bike and then endless turns through the forest until you reach Es Bòrdes again, with a sore body and a smile on the face. The trail has steep sections and fairly exposed parts, which make this route technically very demanding.

If the distance or the difference in level exceeds your posibilities, you can “cheat” going up by car or hiring a transfer to Portilhon or Còth de Baretja, thus saving you a lot of work. This is a GPS route, unmarked on the ground. Download the track and enjoy this adventure!

Loop with very good views that visits several villages to find the Artigaus single track.

You will enjoy some of the best views of the Aneto and Artiga de Lin, rolling along quiet roads or well mantained tracks, so the climb is comfortable and easy. You will cross Vilamòs, where you can recover forces, and then continue towards Arres de Sus where a fantàstic single track will take you back to the Garona river.

From Arres you can extend the route up to Bassa d’Arres pond, with an optional visit to Mina Victòria, then take the Camí dels Prats de Vilamòs (20C).

Artiga de Lin is a must-see in Val d’Aran. And what a better way to do it than by bike, enjoying the fairly comfortable climb along the paved track, which also has no car traffic from the Mair de Diu up. The trip is completed by a circular route along the plains of Artiga and Uelhs deth Joeu, with a technically easy stretch of trail.

At the top of Artiga, you can recover strength in the hut, as well as in the grill halfway, where you can also recharge your electric bikes.
