Discovering La Cerdanya

La Cerdanya offers a huge range of possibilities for nature and active tourism lovers. Located in the Catalan Pyrenees, la Cerdanya is one of the largest valleys in Europe, with a minimum altitude of 1.000 meters. Its marked Mediterranean character, together with the Alpine landscapes, give us really diverse and beautiful sceneries.

Because of all this, discovering la Cerdanya by bike is one of the best possible plans ever! Either by MTB or with a Roadbike, there is a huge amount of possible routes for all tastes and levels, both for those who just seek to enjoy the landscape on an active holiday, and for the most demanding cyclists. Also, the quiet character of the area and its people, the little frequented roads and its marvellous gastronomy will contribute to a unique experience.
