The Bergueda is a cyclist's paradise in all disciplines. Mountain roads with little traffic, legendary passes, endless forest tracks for mountain biking and gravel routes along ancient paths. La Tor de Montclar, with space to store bikes and capacity for groups, is the perfect base for a few days on two wheels.

Mountain biking
The network of trails and forest tracks in the Bergueda is immense:
