Tour Itinerary
It’s a short ride, but still has some small hills to climb. On this loop you will have a short glimpse of what the landscape of Girona looks like and what to expect of your stay in Girona. Small roads with no cars- all made for you. Beautiful views of the Catalunyan landscape and the route will pass just at foothills of Rocacorba
Starting at La Comuna, we take in Girona’s most famous road bike climb, Els Àngels, followed by some speedy descending, to the picturesque medieval village of Monells, with it’s beautiful cobbled square is a must. We continue on through some rolling terrain, then up the Santa Pellaia climb – popular among pro athletes because of its soft, steady gradient. Views abound, over the Gavarres natural park, on both climbs.
The descent from Santa Pellaia to Cassa de la Selva is fast but fun, and we come back in to Girona from the south, returning to the Barri Vell (Old Town)
Distance: 105km Accent (Climb) 1321m ⛰Sant Hilari climb is very loooong, 25 km, but still easy with a average gradient of 2,6%. You climb to 820m, not exactly in the clouds, but it’s a stunning climb. The first 10 km are very easy, but as soon at you pass the small mountain town Osor it starts kicking in with a solid 5-7% for 7 km and then it flattens out again for the last part.
We love the climb because it offers great peace and beauty all year round. After Osor, the probability of seeing any cars is highly unlikely- making it feel like these roads were paved for you.
Â
It’s all worth it- view is indescribable. Panoramic. Â On a clear day you can see all the way to the Costa Brava as well as the Pyrenees mountains.
Â
The most challenging of the day will be mid way with a 3 km climb with an average of 10% gradient, and then again the last bit where it kicks in with a 10% gradient for the last 1,5 km.
It’s all worth it- view is indescribable. Panoramic. Â On a clear day you can see all the way to the Costa Brava as well as the Pyrenees mountains.
the Olot loop we will reach the doorstep of the Pyrenees Mountains. Olot is surrounded by a volcanic field, also known as the Garrotxa volcanic Natural Park, and is some of the most interesting volcanic landscapes in Europe can be found in La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone
We start out at 120m altitude and reach 700m before descending down to Olot- approximate 500m. In the winter it can be pretty cold, but the view of snow on the top of the Pyrenees Mountains, you may quickly forget.
If the weather allows it, we will have a coffee stop in a small idyllic medieval village at the foot of the Pyrenees before heading back to Girona
