Adventure route that will lead us down singletrack and path to the top of the Sierra de Gurp (1404m) . From there, we will descend to Tremp connecting trails accumulating a negative slope of 1000m. We will start with the old path recovered from Picó Xic that will take us to the farmyards of Gurp, a spectacular place where the caves were used to keep the flocks of animals . WARNING! When we pass through the farmyards , there are a few meters where the path is exposed on the cliff, if it is necessary, pass this section on foot!!! Occasionally could be rockfalls.
Once in the village of Gurp, where we can take water at the fountain, we will continue on the old path that leads to the Lleons gorg. At the end of this, we will combine with the old path of Sta. Engracia, the Sílex and finally Insules singletracks that will leave us in Tremp.
On winter days and intense fog the route can be completed without problems, due to the majority of the route runs inside upper trails. However, once the crossroads of Santa Engràcia is reached, It is best to turn back to Tremp by the C-13 road, avoiding possible mud in the Ínsules trail.
On rainy days we will avoid the route, because the Barranco dels Leons can present a lot of mud.
We do not present an alternative track, on days of heavy rain we directly recommend doing the Driblant Lo Fang route.
Usually, the best conditions to do the full route are available all year round.
The route can be done without problems preventing the uphills in the main hours of sunshine.
Always yield to to other cyclists and pedestrians, warn of your arrival in time and slow down.
Do not scare the animals by shouting or making unnecessary noise. You are in their environment.
Take your dog on a leash, especially on the busiest trails.
Respect the signs or fences of private property or hunting grounds.
Follow the established routes, don’t take shortcuts.
Control speed and braking, avoiding skids that erode the ground unnecessarily.
Do not litter.
Avoid clayey areas on muddy days due to rain or fog. Respect the route symbols.
Check your bike before you leave and bring a repair kit.
Use a helmet, wear gloves, goggles and protection.
Know your physical condition and choose the route based on it. Always evaluate the gradient, not just the distance.
Keep an eye on weather forecasts, they can be changeable.
It is recommended to do the routes with GPS navigation support. The routes are not physically signposted.
It is important to be insured in the practice of mountain biking, which is why we recommend obtaining a federal license or private accident insurance.
