TRIP ENQUIRY

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.

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.

TRIP ENQUIRY

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.

Skill Level Recommended:

Advanced

Roots, rocks, drops and tight switchbacks are no match for you even in steep and exposed terrain. You feel confident in riding longer trails with sustained technical features as well as handling some exposed sections with no-fall zones.

Fitness Level Recommended:

The Striving Prospect

You can pedal uphill 1 hour per day and climb 300 m during consecutive days of riding. You don't mind steep uphill climbs for about 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Downhill you happily ride up to 3,000 verticals per day. You exercise on average 2 times per week.
