This tour includes Mountain Biking the exciting and
challenging trails of the
Baix Emporda Mountain Bike network. This network has
literally hundreds of kilometres of trails that range from stunning forest
trails through to blistering single track which, at times, requires high
levels of technical skill to ride. The highest peaks in the riding area are
approximately 500m and are situated in very hilly terrain, making this
perfect mountain biking territory. The more challenging rides accumulate up
to and over 1000m of ascents.
