Ride the amazing singletrack under the heat of the Mediterranean sun!

From the Mediterranean see to Banyuls, take your trusty steed to new beautiful heights riding towards the Atlantic Ocean on the other side of this tremendous mountain range, The Pyrenees. You will traverse the Alberes Massive, l'Alta Garrotxa, the Sierra de Montgrony and finally the Cadi-Moixero, never leaving the famous Mediterranean sun* (Sun not guaranteed by Altitude).

Leave the monotony behind on your desk at work and join us, along a great ride under the peaks of the Pyrenees range on technical singletracks little known. The views here are majestic, the riding world class, and the welcome of the Catalan people each evening in their village second to none.

Our aim in this first part of the ''Grande Traversée des Pyrénées'' is not to reach the Atlantic on the other side but to admire the scenery and obviously ride some of the most beautiful trails in Europe. The traverse includes no parts in a car; however your luggage will be taken for you to each one of the nights rest spots. Thus, leaving you to make the most of your trip.

Sun, relaxation, excitement and magnificent scenery is what this trip is all about, don't let the kids hold you back!
