Day program

Whether you are a weekend Santa Coloma de Farners  books and comes flying or een week Girona wilt verkennen met eigen vervoer. De keuze is aan jullie Hieronder vind je een example elaboration op basis van een vlucht naar Girona, transfers en 5 dagen rijden mix tussen scenic en technische trails. Day 1 – Arrival Upon arrival at Girona airport (or after a ride from the Netherlands) we will take you to the hotel in Girona in 20 minutes. You will quickly notice that Girona is a real cycling city with a beautiful old city center. We make sure that all MTBs are in order, and then we explore the old city center on the MTB under the guidance of the guide. We also ride a few trails to get in the mood for the real work tomorrow. Day 2 – Trails around Girona After a hearty breakfast we get on our bikes to discover the nature reserve Les Gavarres directly from Girona. Within 5 minutes we leave the city behind us and start the first climb on a single track. We build it up slowly so that you can get used to trail riding. During the tour we visit the 'Castell de Sant Miquel', where you can climb the castle tower for a beautiful view of the nature reserve. In clear weather you can even see the Pyrenees! Day 3 – Trail center Santa Coloma de Farners Named by GMBN (Global Mountain Bike Network) as one of the best trail centers. Here you will find 'natural shaped trails' with a few improvements for extra riding pleasure. Discover the Spiderman trail, a super flowy fast trail with a few drops. For technical trails Dragon Kahn or La Llosa are ideal. Day 4 – Backcountry Les Gavarres Today we go deeper into the nature reserve. After a longer cross country climb, one of the longest descents of over 3 km awaits us. This trail has it all: fast flowy parts, technical and narrow sections, and rock shoots. After the descent we climb to a beautiful viewpoint over the Gavarres and the surrounding mountain ranges. Here you can also see the area of the next day: Cap de Creus. After this stop we descend towards Girona. Day 5 – Beauty of the Mediterranean The icing on the cake! With turquoise water, beautiful beaches surrounded by rocks and high cliffs, Cap de Creus is a top location for mountain bikers. We start with a shuttle that takes us to the starting point, where our adventure begins. After a long descent, we end up on the beach to relax and enjoy the view. Then follows a climb of 400 vertical meters to a beautiful traversing trail with breathtaking views. The descent ends at the cliffs near Cadaqués, an old fishing village where we have lunch. After lunch, we continue climbing and descend to Roses with beautiful views.
