We are a travel agency specialized in guided and self guided walking and cycling holidays.
From December 19 to 23 we are going to shred the trails with Santa Claus in the enduro paradise of Gerona. As always, we ride trails of unparalleled quality with a high level of fun in the natural beauty of Catalunya. We will be staying in a beautiful Catalan farmhouse, located at the foot of a mountain range where more than 22 stunning enduro trails lay hidden. This is an MTB tour for experienced and less experienced mountain bikers.

BIKER & BIKE:
Technique:
The Ride2Gerona Christmas Special is not for beginners. Some enduro experience is desired. It is recommended to follow or have followed an enduro clinic. However, we are very experienced in assessing a group and immediately know which trails to choose. There are so many trails that we can adjust the level to the group. We always ride in 2 level groups based purely on technical skill.s.
Physique:
This is a forest, not a bike park with a ski lift. Our shuttle service only serves to get from the residence to the 'trail centers' more easily. We ride from one descent to another via wide paths. If you have a solid basic condition, you will be able to enjoy more. If you do not have that 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)
- suspension travel 140mm minimum tires with firm flanks and firm studs
- Helmet, full-face or enduro
- Protection: knee and elbow, backpack or back protector
- We are obliged to wear a helmet, knee and elbow protection and a backpack for your food, drinks and spareparts / tools. If you do not want to wear a backpack, a protection vest is mandatory.
- A fullface helmet is not an unnecessary luxury on the more technical trails and provides that extra feeling of safety.
THE HOUSE: Our accommodation for the week is a restored Catalan farmhouse with a large garden, isolated in the woods where our trails are located. We sleep in double rooms with separate beds. The large living room with fireplace is cozy, we have a large kitchen and 4 bathrooms. Breakfast and dinner are prepared by a local chef.
