Routes

There are simply too many beautiful gravel loops around Girona to ride them all in a single week. That’s why we’ve put together a carefully curated week-long package featuring all the must-ride spots. Expect stunning premium gravel roads and flowy singletracks, mixed with the occasional touch of mountain rubble. The routes are not technically demanding, aside from a few short sections. We recommend gravel tires around 45 mm wide or more.

During the first three days, we’ll explore the areas west and north of Girona. We’ll ride to the summit of Rocacorba, visit the medieval old town of Besalú, and descend a spectacular scenic gravel road to the Presa de Susqueda dam. We’ll stop for coffee by Lake Banyoles and visit the factory store at the nearby Haribo plant.

In the second part of the trip — after changing base — we’ll discover a true cycling playground: the Les Gavarres mountains. This low mountain range stretching above Girona is crisscrossed with a dense network of beautiful gravel roads and singletracks. We’ll climb the iconic Els Àngels, descend for lunch at the local Dos Kiwis brewery, take a recovery ride to the seaside town of Sant Feliu, and visit Girona’s legendary cycling cafés: Espresso Mafia and La Fàbrica.

Each day we offer two route options and split into two groups with different difficulty levels:

Group 1 – on average 50–90 km and 800–1,600 m of elevation gain per day Group 2 – on average 90–130 km and 1,500–2,500 m of elevation gain per day

The routes for both groups largely overlap, so that at least once a day the whole crew meets for coffee or lunch.

Note: we reserve the right to make changes to the itinerary that do not significantly affect daily distances or total elevation gain.
