Pedales de los Ports

Pedales de los Ports is a circular route on BTT bikes most of which runs along forest trails and mountain tracks. 

We will start out from Beceite and return to the village after a 4-stage tour through the most spectacular areas of the Beceite Mountain Passes Massif. The itinerary consists in 40 – 60 km stages with a 1,500 m positive slope. In all, we will cover 205 km with an approximate 5,800 m positive slope.

It is an average-to-high difficulty cycle tourism route, planned for people in good physical shape that usually ride BTT bikes in mountain areas. 

This cycle tourism route can be guided or self-guided and is directed to nature lovers, sports persons and mountain cyclists who wish to explore secluded natural environments and live unique experiences.

We created Pedales de los Ports back in 2011. The route can be made in 3, 4 or 5 stages and is part of the Pedales del Mundo network, in 2019 we also created the Pedales del Matarraña route.

Experts in mountain bike routes, cycle tourism, Green Ways and road bicycling, our guides are native to the territory and know its natural and cultural resources in depth.
