Pyrenees-Barcelona Bike Tour

Pyrenees-Barcelona Bike Tour

Our adventure starts off in La Cerdanya valley, in the Pyrenees, which is one of the largest valleys in Europe. Here we will cross part of Catalonia from La Cerdanya to Barcelona, travelling on secondary roads with beautiful landscapes.

This route through Catalonia will be accompanied by the excellent Mediterranean climate, which is ideal for cycling as it allows riders to enjoy the best sensations while on their bike.

An excellent opportunity to get to know this region, its people, customs and this environment of great natural and cultural value, which also offers great gastronomic options.

Day 1 - Welcome to Catalonia. Our trip starts in Barcelona, the meeting point will be at Estación de Francia at 10.00 am, from where we will depart towards our destination, the Pyrenees. The trip will take about 2 hours. Once in the mountains we'll do a briefing of the routes and preparation of the bikes. After that we will have lunch and you will have the afternoon free to stroll, get familiar with the place or enjoy the first bike ride around the area.

Day 2 - Bellver - Lles. Now the real fun and action starts! We will leave the hotel to cycle through the western part of the valley, heading towards Alp, continuing through Prats until we arrive at Bellver, along very quiet roads and with hardly any traffic we will arrive at Martinet. We’ll start climbing up to

 

coll de Lles, arriving at the small and charming mountain village of Ardovol, then we will cycle down to Prullans, where we will stop for lunch and then we’ll continue the route along the main road until we reach Puigcerda. Great day, we have cycled 73 kms and climbed 1,158 meters!

Day 3 - La Collada-La Molina-Masella. Today’s stage will be slightly easier with an 850 m altitude difference spread over 50 km. The point of departure and return will be our hotel, from where we will head straight to La Collada de Toses with a continuous ascension of 21 km and an average of 3.2%. Lot's of curiosities which you'll have to discover by yourself!

Day 4 - La Cerdanya – Prats de Lluçanes. Our route for the day will head towards Barcelona along inland roads with hardly any traffic. We will start in La Molina ski resort, then we’ll head to Pla de Anyella, enjoying its spectacular meadows along the way. The next stop will be coll de la Creueta, a category 1 pass and scenario of numerous stages of the Spanish Vuelta, but we’ll cover the distance downhill. Then we will continue pedalling until we reach Sant Jaume de Frontanyà, one of Catalunya’s smallest villages, but one with an impressive Romanesque church dating back to the 11th century. The route will continue to Prats de Lluçanes, which will be the end of today’s stage, we’ll spend the night and continue tomorrow. Today's stats are impressive: 92 kms and 1,786 meters climbed, wow!

Day 5 - Prats de Lluçanes – Barcelona. We will leave the hotel early to start the last stage towards 

Barcelona, along secondary roads, cycling deep into the most remote area of Catalonia, bordering impressive fields of crops and leafy forests. The end of the stage will be at

 Matadepera, to then go into 

Barcelona and reach our hotel by vehicle driven by our staff.
