Do you want to try the best Pyrenees singletracks? Enjoy 4 days of pure enduro with 4WD uplifts, crossing the Central Pyrenees from West to East and linking the best trails of Tena, Ainsa and Benasque valleys.

The idea is to make the most of several uplifts per day with our support vehicle to avoid paved roads and most fire roads, so that after a short pedalling we can enjoy the best trail descents of each spot in a very short time.  

On this tour you'll face a wide variety of surfaces and enjoy very diverse landscapes including alpine meadows over 2000 meters, narrow ancient trails, forests, as well as rocky and demanding sections. This is the main feature of our Pyrenees: a huge variety of top quality trails in a relatively small area. 

Are you a group of at least 4 people? We can arrange a private tour just for you. Contact us!
