Mountain biking routes

The mountain biking routes are all well managed and signposted. At every departure point and along the routes there are mountain bike signs with the number of the circuit that you are following. The technical and physical difficulty of the routes are classified by the colour of the numbers on the signs like ski pistes. There is a map showing all the mountain biking routes which you can get free from the tourist office. Other services in the valley include, a bike washing facility, mountain bike hire and the opportunity to go out with a mountain bike instructor to improve your technique.

They are open 7 days a week in July and August.
