This is the most equilibrated proposal. The mileage, slopes, and stretches of technical difficulty are better distributed; it allows to fully enjoy the route and it leaves you time to visit the towns at the end of each stage. It is advisable to hire the luggage transport service.
At Pedratour, we specialise in MTB routes in Catalunya as well!
