From Mountain Hostel Tarter we invite you to join our e-mtb guided tours to discover the new paths and trails specially designed for e-bike in Grandvalira.
EVERY TUESDAY AND SATURDAY from 10am to 1pm. ONLY FOR HOSTEL GUESTS.
GRANDVALIRA E-BIKE
This summer 2023 saw the launch of the Grandvalira E-bike project, offering more than 90km of trails and single tacks. Now we not only enjoy Grandvalira in winter, but also in summer and on e-bike, from Encamp to Pas de la Casa, passing through all the sectors of Grandvalira. And we, as always, leave from the door of the hostel. We love it!
GRANDVALIRA E-BIKE TRAILS
All the e-bike circuits in the Grandvalira resort have been signposted. Most of the circuits are circular, and there are also some more technical descents for more experienced riders. The routes are signposted according to difficulty:
40 km of green circuits, the easiest 30 km of blue circuits, which are a little more difficult 24 km of red and black circuits for the most expert and/or daring riders
The circuits are designed for e-bikes, and of course there are also charging points in all sectors. Oh, and also cleaning points with pressurised water, for the bike and for you, if you need it 😉 And also points with tools for basic repairs.
GRANDVALIRA E-BIKE PASS
Access to the resort is free, but if you want to take advantage of the open gondola lifts and save on batteries, there is an e-bike pass that includes 3 gondola lift rides in the Encamp (Funicamp), Canillo and Soldeu sectors. The price is €21.50 for adults and free for children up to 5 years old.
The lifts can be taken from 9am to 4:45pm.
Highly recommended. You can buy your bike pass HERE
