This unique tour takes you to some of the best spots around Girona and the Costa Brava. While most mountain biking holidays stay in one area, this route offers a completely different experience. You’ll see the landscape and trails change every day, from dense forests to sand dunes and cliffs right along the Mediterranean Sea. As a bonus, you’ll visit or stay in medieval villages such as Girona, Pals, and the old fishing villages of Sant Feliu and Calella de Palafrugell.
The tour can be tailored to your preferences.
You start in Girona. From here, on the first day, you’ll cycle through two mountain ranges towards the Mediterranean Sea, enjoying beautiful singletracks along the way. These include everything from flowy, fast trails to rocky, technical ones. Once you reach the coast, the route follows trails along both the coastline and the inland areas. Each day has its own unique character, with no two days being the same. On the final day, you’ll cycle back from the coast to Girona.
You can expand each day for more information.
The standard tour starts in Girona, but you can also begin from other locations. As soon as you leave Girona, you enter the Gavarres. This extensive forest stretches all the way from Girona to the coast. On the first day, you’ll ride from Girona to the sea, crossing both the Gavarres and the Cadiretes massif. You’ll stay in a lovely hotel near the beachfront promenade, where you can enjoy a well-deserved beer.
Route: Girona – Sant Feliu de Guíxols
On the second day, you leave the coast behind and head back into the Gavarres. You’ll notice the difference: this side of the Gavarres is drier and has more white sand. Midway through the day, you’ll reach the medieval church of Santa Coloma de Fitor, where you can grab a drink or something to eat. After your break, you’ll descend to Calella de Palafrugell. This gem of a village offers fantastic photo opportunities and has charming beachfront restaurants.
Route: Sant Feliu de Guíxols – Calella de Palafrugell
The third day begins with stunning views and a descent right along the Mediterranean Sea. After this picturesque section, you’ll follow trails towards Begur and Pals, two small historic villages with narrow cobblestone streets. You’ll end your third day in Torroella de Montgrí.
Route: Calella de Palafrugell – Torroella de Montgrí
This 4th day is only part of the 5-day tour. Today, you’ll mountain bike through the unique dune area between L’Estartit and L’Escala. Here, you’ll find mostly flowy trails and dune paths with some stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. Midway, you can stop for a drink at the beautiful bay of Platja de Montgó.
Route: Torroella de Montgrí – Torroella de Montgrí
On the final day, you’ll ride along flat gravel paths from Torroella de Montgrí to Monells. In Monells, you can enjoy your last shot of coffee before starting the long climb up to the Gavarres. After this climb, you’ll reach one of the highest points in the region, offering a stunning view over the forest and the distant coastline. From here, your last long descent begins, leading you back to the old town of Girona.
Difficulty level 4 for mountain biking is designed for experienced and trained mountain bikers. This particular tour has a difficulty level of 3 for technical skills and 4 for distance/elevation gain. The routes are longer and include technical singletracks (blue and/or red trails). There may be 1 or 2 days where the route is somewhat longer and more challenging. Depending on the discipline, you’ll cover the corresponding number of kilometers. On Cross Country (XC) rides, you’ll cover more distance than on Enduro rides. On average, you’ll climb between 800 to 1200 meters per day.
Girona is located in the north of Spain, just across the border from France. Girona has its own airport and is only 1 hour away from the larger international airport in Barcelona. It’s also well connected to the train network
