Guided Mountain Bike Tours in the Pyrenees

Arrival Day

You'll be met at Barcelona Airport and driven into the Pyrenees to your base in Bielsa, gateway to the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park. After check-in, there's time to build your bike or settle in to your rental, followed by a welcome dinner (or lunch, depending on arrival time) and a full briefing on the week ahead.

Day 1 — Bielsa and the Pineta Valley

We start close to home in the Pineta Valley, one of the most dramatic corners of the Spanish Pyrenees: 3,000 m peaks, dense forest and a network of trails built for shuttle-assisted riding. Expect a full day of big descents before heading back to base for a well-earned aprés-bike.

Day 2 — Ainsa's Classic Trails

A transfer takes us south to Ainsa, twice host to the Enduro World Series and home to the area's distinctive grey dirt trails, known locally as Margas. The terrain here rewards strong legs more than shuttle laps, so depending on the group's preference, we can swap the van for e-bikes on this leg — a proper change of pace, and one of the highlights of the week.

Day 3 — Crossing into France

We continue north and cross the border into the French Pyrenees, climbing through high-mountain singletrack in the Aure Valley before dropping into trails shaped by a completely different riding culture on the other side. A proper change of scenery, and one of the highlights of the week.

Day 4 — Loudenvielle World Cup Trails

A day on trails built for the world's best: Loudenvielle has hosted Enduro World Series and UCI Downhill World Cup rounds, and the descents reflect that pedigree — fast, technical and seriously well built. Wet or dry, this is a proper test.

Day 5 — Back to Bielsa's Hidden Lines

Our final riding day stays close to base, returning to the Pineta Valley to pick off the zones we didn't reach earlier in the week, or re-riding the best descents and our favourites.

Departure

A relaxed morning before the transfer back to Barcelona Airport — plenty of time to swap stories from the week before your flight.

‍

High Mountain Base keeps you in Bielsa for the whole week — gateway to the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, surrounded by peaks over 3,000 m, with the Pineta Valley right on your doorstep.

From Bielsa, day excursions take you south to Ainsa and its distinctive grey Margas trails, and on across the border into the French Pyrenees for Loudenvielle's World Cup-grade descents.

‍

This is proper high-mountain enduro: long, sustained descents through a mix of alpine terrain, technical rock and fast-flowing singletrack, with daily elevation loss regularly running well past 1,000 m and up to 2,500 m on the biggest days. The trails span two countries and several distinct riding zones — from the Pineta Valley's alpine character to Ainsa's exposed grey Margas dirt and the World Cup-grade descents around Loudenvielle. Shuttle support does most of the climbing for you, though some days call for a steady pedal to access the best lines.

Arrival Day

You will be met at Barcelona Airport by a LeRipp representative and driven to Casa Guilla (Fox House), your base for the week in the heart of Pallars Jussà which is approximately 2 hr 40 min from Barcelona. On arrival, settle in, get your bike ready, meet the team and get a full briefing over dinner on the trails ahead.

Day 1

The first riding day is all about finding your rhythm. We start close to Casa Guilla with a warm-up ride through forest singletracks, descending into the picturesque town of Salàs de Pallars. This is a gentle introduction to the terrain. In the afternoon, a 250 m pedal unlocks the Nerets area, where the Sant Antoni reservoir opens up below you before we drop into some of the area's signature trails: Slick Rock and Arizona Cactus. A few more shuttle runs wrap up the day before we head back to the terrace for aperitivos.

Day 2

We start from the doorstep of Casa Guilla with a steady 250 m climb, which leads straight into the first big descent of the trip. A long, natural trail with around 650 m of elevation loss and a great mix of terrain down to the valley floor. From there, the rest of the day belongs to Roques Pelades or "Naked Rocks", one of Tremp's most iconic enduro zones: grey sandstone slabs, flowing forest sections and spectacular views. We spend the afternoon shuttling further descents in the same zone, including Valkyries and Escorpins, before regrouping for the ride back to Casa Guilla.

Day 3

We head to La Pobla de Segur for the first of two days in this zone. Shuttled to 1,000 m, we continue climbing by bike to 1,489 m, nromally the biggest effort of the week, and every metre is repaid in full. What follows is the Rocalta ridge: around 889 m of elevation loss across four linked singletracks: rocky and loose freeride terrain, chunky conglomerate rock and forest flow with a real Wild West feeling. We regroup in the village of Sossís before the afternoon continues near Toralla with flowy but consistently spicy trails with natural features, drops and jumps if you wish.

(On 4-night trips, this is the final riding day — and it's a proper send-off.)

Day 4

Back to La Pobla de Segur, but a completely different world. We shuttle up to Montsor, an abandoned hamlet at 1,200 m perched among massive rock formations and open sky. The descents here offer real variety and character. Expect technical conglomerate rock, open ridge sections and forest flow.

Day 6

The final day on the bike, and it saves the best for last. We start high at 1,350 m with ridge singletracks before dropping into fast forest trails. Expect around 850 m of elevation loss to open the session and from there, flow rules: a string of shuttle runs through Tremp's most celebrated serpentines, finishing on the trail everyone keeps asking about, Dragon Khan. Bikes get packed after the riding and we sit down for a proper final dinner at Casa Guilla.

Departure Day

Breakfast, check-out and a transfer back to Barcelona Airport. After five days of the best trails Pallars Jussà has to offer, you'll be back. Hasta la próxima.

‍

During our Pyrenees trips, we stay in carefully selected accommodation that reflects the character of the region. Depending on the trip option, group size and availability, we typically stay at either Casa Guilla (Fox House) in Tremp or Hotel Terradets, located on the shores of the stunning Terradets Lake.

Casa Guilla is a premium private venue in the heart of Pallars Jussà, featuring nine individually designed suites, amazing views and tucked away into the mountains. The property is also available on an exclusive-use basis for private groups.

Hotel Terradets offers comfortable lakeside accommodation with excellent facilities, a swimming pool and spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, making it an ideal base for exploring the best riding in the region.

Whichever property we use, the focus remains the same: great hospitality, excellent food and easy access to world-class mountain biking. We work closely with local producers, chefs and wineries to provide generous breakfasts, packed lunches for the trail and relaxed evening meals that showcase the flavours of the Pyrenees. Most riding areas are located within a short distance, keeping transfer times short and maximising time on the bike.

‍

The trails around Tremp and La Pobla de Segur are raw, authentic and refreshingly uncrowded. Shuttle assistance does the heavy lifting. Typically we pedal 300–500m of per day, while the descending is more extensive: around 3,000 m of elevation loss daily across trail types from natural flowy single tracks and sandstone slabs to exposed ridgelines and technical enduro terrain. Routes are always calibrated daily by a certified local guide based on group level, trail conditions and weather.
