The Roques Pelades Zone connects the entire mountain chain from the town of Santa Engràcia to the Sant Antoni reservoir. The ascent is on a paved road and the paths cross forests, pine forest with slabs of gray sandstone with a lot of grip. This means that the trails combine fairly technical areas with wooded areas with a lot of flow, most of them with spectacular views of the Pyrenees and Montsec on both sides.
It is a very good area for wet days after rain or fog, as it is difficult to find mud, except for occasional places on the links near the ravines that we can avoid by going back and forth on the road. Likewise, we will avoid going up on asphalt during the hottest hours of the summer.
The legendary trails in the area are: Roques Pelades, Valkyries and Escorpins
Give way to other cyclists and walkers, warn of your arrival in time and slow down.

Respect the signs or fences of private property or hunting grounds.
Follow the established routes, don’t take shortcuts.

Check your bike before you go out and always carry a repair kit.
