We are a travel agency specialized in guided and self guided walking and cycling holidays.
Cerdanya, also known as “Little Canada”, is the biggest and sunniest valley of the Pyrenees. Here we will be riding the most amazing high alpine trails and endless descents. From the natural mountain trails in the stunning landscape of the Pyrenees, we travel to two different bike parks to ride both very natural and built downhill trails. After a full day of fun on the bike, we will feast on the local food and enjoy the hospitality of the locals. If you like the Alps, you will love the Pyrenees!

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
TECHNIQUE and SKILLS LEVELS
This enduro-tour is for experienced mountainbikers, comfortable with long and technical alpine descents, as well as bike parks. If you do not want to do the climbing, this tour is also ideal for e-bikers.
PHYSIQUE
This enduro-tour is all about having fun during the descents but you will need to do a fair amount of climbing (between 500 and 1400m per day).
If you have a solid physical condition then you will be able to enjoy more. If you are not as fit as you would like to be, or you want to enjoy the descents to the maximum, an Ebike is an absolute must.
EQUIPMENT
- a decent enduro bike
- E-bike is not prohibited (on the contrary)
- minimum travel 140 mm
- tires with sturdy flanks and sturdy studs
Mandatory to wear
-
Helmet, (full-face for the bike parks) or enduro
-
Protection: knee and elbow, backpack or back protector
-
If you do not want to wear a backpack, a protection vest is mandatory. A full-face helmet is no luxury on the more technical trails and provides that extra feeling of safety.
