6 ABRIL

63 KM | 1.300 M+

Unmarked circular route (GPS mandatory) in the Montnegre massif with little technical difficulty, on forest tracks in good condition. This is a tough and demanding route due to the steep gradient of some sections.

Riders will leave Santa Susanna towards the heart of the Montnegre massif. After a short climb to warm up, the ride’s biggest challenge awaits: a 10 km ascent with a continuous gradient until Santa Maria de Montnegre, at 615 m above sea level.

Riders will continue on, with fabulous views of the Montseny massif, before reaching Sant Martí de Montnegre. From this point, a descent to Hostalric will begin, passing close to the Tordera river, before returning to Santa Susanna after overcoming the route’s final climb.

Total distance: 63 km

Approximate time for first participants: 3.5 hours / 4 hours

The region of Osona and its capital, Vic, are strategically located halfway between the Pyrenees and the Costa Brava. Due to the landscape of inland Catalonia and this unique location, the region boasts a wide range of excellent tracks for GRAVEL.

This Gravel routes will help you discover Las Gavarres, a rounded massif with forest tracks in good condition, which is perfect for our adventure. The tracks will be followed by GPS, as there will not be any signs along the way, allowing you to experience the gravel adventure in complete freedom. Riders will leave Girona bordering the northern part of Las Gavarres, following the tracks that run parallel to the Ter river lined by poplar trees. At the village of Monells riders will enter an Area of Natural Interest (EIN) via a steep climb surrounded by cork oak and holm oak trees. The routes will move away from traffic and built-up areas until you can feel the silence of the most remote corners of the massif. It will then pass through the western part of Las Gavarres, passing close to Àngels sanctuary and Sant Miquel castle, before entering Girona via the Sant Daniel valley, accompanied by the Galligants river.
