ANDORRA MOUNTAIN BIKE CONDITIONS
As this little country borders with Spain - Andorra has a slightly warmer climate. Having
said this, as with most mountainous regions the
weather can be a little unpredictable so although the summer months 'should be fine' things can change pretty rapidly!
1) Vallnord
The Vallnord BikePark is fast becoming one of the best mountain bike venues in Europe, with great terrain, stunning views and local rider, Cedric Gracia as the man behind many of the developments. The BikePark is exciting and always expanding. Hosting the UCI World Cup has put the resort on the map but also allowed them to really push the development of their trail designs both downhill and 4X. The ground here is usually loose and dusty as the summers are hot and dry and the park is not one for beginners as the lower face of the hill is very steep.
2) Grandvalira-Soldeu
Andorra is a current 'hotspot' for mountain biking with a whole load of riding - Grandvalira-Soldeu is a new BikePark in Andorra's largest ski area.
