Terra
Alta
The
numerous Terra Alta routes in southern Catalonia
have been researched and designed to include the best varied
terrain and scenery possible. From sandy trails meandering through
vineyards, to stony dry river beds, rocky climbs and descents
to the river crossings, jumps, "fast blasts" and the spectacular
scenery, the Terra Alta region has all the ingredients for quality
off-road riding.
Our tours have been designed, not only to ride the best trails
and see the best scenery in the area, but also to give an insight
into the history, the culture, and what life really is like
in this undeveloped area of Spain. Whether it's the fruit growers
tending their orange trees on the plains of the River Ebro,
or the "pastor" tending his flock of sheep or goats on the mountainside,
you just know this scene hasn't been set up for the camera -
this is "normal everyday life" around here.
Trans-Catalonia
Ride
some of the best trails in Europe in our spectacular
Trans-Catalonia tours. Nestling in the mountains of the
Pyrenees, Andorra has thousands of kilometres of dirt
tracks within a couple of hours ride. Thanks to the farmers,
the forestry, the fire workers, and the centuries of smuggling
tax-free goods out of the country, there's now a labyrinth of
trails around the area, all in different states of repair, and
all just perfect for trailbikes.
Trails range from easy, with various different types of terrain,
to more demanding with steep, stony, sandy and rocky trails
which will provide a challenge to even the most experienced
rider. Water crossings, tighter forest trails, fast mountain
tracks - in fact everything except deep mud!! The Trans-Catalonia
route heads south out of Andorra, through the spectacular
Spanish Pyrenees, down through the foothills, then finally
the lower plains towards the coast. Faster, smoother sections
through farming and vineyard country eventually take us to the
final destination of L'Ampolla, the attractive Mediterranean
village where we base our Terra Alta tours.
This tour can be run in either direction.
Spanish
Pyrenees
Our
Spanish Pyrenees route from Andorra follows the
high Pyrenees, just south of the Spain / France border,
climbing and descending countless mountains, through lush, green
valleys, and always surrounded by diverse stunning views. Through
remote areas inaccessible to most locals, let alone tourists,
the mountains eventually flatten out, and we arrive at Roses,
a picturesque Mediterranean resort. Heading away from Andorra,
the trails are rugged and mountainous, twisty, and with some
testing climbs and ascents. As we're at the top of the Pyrenean
Mountains here, don't expect the trails to be well-maintained
- some are in poor condition (which only adds to the fun). Don't
expect to stay dry either (unless it hasn't rained for ages)
- the "puddle section" as we call it, you will love........
We ride the spectacular forest trails until nearly an hour from
the coast, then ease off as we head down into Roses, looking
forward to a beer on the beach to celebrate the tour!!
This tour can be run in either direction.
Trans-Spain
1800
km in seven days biking will introduce you to a selection of
great trails ranging from fast winding tracks up mountain passes
and through open meadows, cruising through verdant valleys,
manoeuvering deep washouts, following arid sandy tracks across
the Monegros Desert, finding our way through sections
of undergrowth, and tricky steep tracks - just a selection of
some of the varied terrain that real enduro enthusiasts will
appreciate. The ultimate offroad biking odyssey through Spain,
every imaginable terrain is waiting to be discovered by you
going from Andorra to the coast near Coimbra in Portugal, or
back.
The Trans-Spain tour is not suitable for complete novice
off-road riders.

it, but we do recommend novices should consider our Terra
Alta tours first. Riders with some experience on off-road
motorbikes, or who have done a few days on one of our other
tours would considered this a challenge, and most definitely
possible.
