We will leave Tremp by trail to the village of Talarn, where we can get water at the Font de Caps. From here we will go down ZZ Top until we find the road that leads us up to the start of Roques Pelades.
We will go down Roques Pelades to the viewpoint and before the crossing with Valkyries we will go to the left to take the entrance of Escorpins. A trail with good views and where the only difficulty is several jumps that we will encounter during the descent (all have an easy variant).
Once down we go up Guillot to find Valkyries II. We will return to Tremp passing through the Raig area and the Islands.
The entire area of Roques Pelades has very good drainage, even on rainy days. Even so, after days of high humidity due to water or fog we can find mud at the beginning and end of the route. Since it is possible to avoid this part by road, we present an alternative track to avoid the conflicting areas on days of rain or intense fog.
We can also park the car at the crossroads of Santa Engràcia, starting and ending the route from there.
This route presents good conditions throughout the year.
On days when the ground is wet and compact, due to rain and humidity in previous days/weeks, the best grip conditions occur.
The route can be done perfectly, but you have to take into account that the climb is on asphalt, so we will avoid the hottest hours of the day.
Give way to other cyclists and walkers, 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 go out and always carry 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.
