Ski resorts aren’t just for skiing! With the arrival of spring in Andorra, a host of activities are opening up for lovers of outdoor sports and contact with nature. Hiking, climbing and canyoning are just some of them… and also mountain biking. The latter combines descents with routes along quieter paths. Whether you are an expert or you want to get into the world of mountain biking, we tell you about the options offered by the mountain biking resorts in summer, to enjoy mountain biking or e-biking.
Grandvalira mountain biking circuits
This summer, explore Grandvalira on two wheels on its 94 kilometres of e-bike circuits, divided into 12 itineraries that cross the Soldeu, Grau Roig, Encamp and Canillo sectors. The circuits are designed for cyclists of all levels, with clearly differentiated routes by colour (as is already done on the ski slopes), guaranteeing a safe and tailor-made experience for each cyclist:
E-bike Circuits:
– Green and blue: for beginners, with 30 kilometres of easy routes that will allow you to enjoy the landscape without worries.
– Blue and red: for those with some experience, offering 50 kilometres of medium-difficulty routes.
– Red and black: designed for more experienced cyclists, challenging them along the most technical trails.
In addition, the station is equipped with facilities for you to enjoy your E-Bike, such as pressurised water hoses and recharging points (remember to bring your own charger). And to make the most of the experience, the resort offers you the Bike Pass. This allows you to use up to 3 lifts between the Encamp, Canillo and Soldeu cable cars.
