Cycling in Andorra. Mountain cycling

Andorra is a popular stage for manifold international bicycle races , such as Tour de France, Vuelta a España, Volta a Catalunya, World Championships and manifold gatherings of mountain bike riders (MTB). Look here for the photos of the latest Tour de France stage in Andorra.

The amateurs of highway cycling may enjoy the landscapes, roads and mountain passes. Those, who prefer mountain bikes, may ascend together with their bicycles by cable lifts that function year-round and attend bicycle parks of Grandvalira and Vallnord or to ride over manifold landscapes of the country on their own. The 37th bike ride over Andorran Pyrenees took place here in 2014. Annually, this ride is attended by both professional sportsmen and hundreds of newcomers.

The total amount of cyclists, that attend the country from summer till autumn, is no less than the amount of skiing amateurs. In summer the biggest ski resort of Andorra—Grandvalira turns into the bike park. Oscar Saiz, a manager of Soldeu bike park, is a world-known sportsmen in such discipline as downhill MTB. Together with his team, he daily conducts trainings for both inexperienced MTB bikers and for professionals that have their exercises at Grandvalira slopes. http://all-andorra.com/cycling-routes/
