La Vall del Bac

Highlight • Gorge

The dirt road connects with the asphalt. They are both very handsome on bikes but tough. To get to this place, the two paths are both a long and hard climb.

Highlight • Religious Site

Mountain pass that crosses the Malforat mountain range, which separates the Bianya valley and the Bac valley, and the Garrotxa and Ripollès counties. It is a very quiet road with little traffic, which on the Olot side is 8.6 kilometers long and has an average gradient of just over 5%, while on the Sant Pau de Segúries side the port has a totally different character: a false flat of just 3 kilometers to the top.

Tunnels of the Vía Verde (Ruta del Carrilet)

Highlight • Structure

These are the first two tunnels of the Vía Verde at the exit of Olot. There are many more between here and Girona. These tunnels really give you the feeling that this is an old train line, and it is.

Route that starts gently in Les Preses and along "el carrilet" and that gradually gains height until it crowns Capsacosta. Once we leave the Vall de Bianya behind and start the return to Olot through the Vall del Bach. It is an accessible route, 100% cycleable and with a good combination of road and gravel tracks. A great discovery!

This is a really nice gravel loop. Most of the climbing is on the road making it a bit easier. There are some sections that pass through private land but I didn't have any problems. There is one hike a bike section of singletrack that is easy to get lost on but it is not very long. A mountain bike …
