DOWNHILL
In the Grandvalira-Soldeu mountain bike area there are 13 'freeride'
downhill trails of varying levels of difficulty, which offer a chance
for all riders to improve. The lengths vary from 2.5km to 6km and
descend from 2450m at the top of the Solana chairlift, to 1800m in the
village of Soldeu. Access is via the Soldeu gondola and the Solana
clutched chairlift. There are bike itineraries for all levels, such as
the Verda track for beginners to the Slopestyle track for the most
daring riders.
Very similar to Vallnord, the downhill routes vary between wide open, fast and dusty pisted runs that are graded easy. There are 11 gravity assisted runs in total. There is one true freeride route which is the Roller Coaster trail. It is a short trail made up of rollers, doubles, tabletops and wallrides.
CROSS-COUNTRY
If you buy the Andorra 5 day bike pass for 80 euros it allows you to ride Grandvalira-Soldeu and Vallnord on the same pass. Cross-country riding is difficult here as the terrain is so steep.
Whether you choose to ease the climbs by utilizing the lifts or take the full aerobic workout, Grandvalira-Soldeu has enough cross-country choice to keep you busy with 75 km of trails running between the Canillo, Soldeu and El Tarter sectors. The terrain here is very steep so the riding is only suited to those with a hight level of fitness.

Lifts are open from 6 July to 9 Sept |
| Lift Opening Times | 10.00 - 17.00 (always check) |

2012-05-12 16:39:02 | Angela Burke - Mountain Bike HireHi, My boyfriend and I are hoping to do some downhill biking from 9-11 July. We were thinking of renting an apartment in Soldeu. Do you rent bikes? Do we buy lift passes from you too? How much for the three days? Also, do you know of any cheap apartments for rent or budget hotels? 8-12 July. Thanks, Angela
