Overview

The 2 Valleys Pyrenees Mountain Bike tour offers a seamless fusion of rugged, high-alpine adventure and uncompromising luxury, exploring the two most majestic valleys of the range: Val d'Aran and the Benasque Valley, connected by an epic traverse. It promises jaw-dropping descents, ancient history, a unique variety of trails, and the highest standard of hospitality. The tour is curated by professionals who know these peaks best, offering the luxury BlackTown Trails standard. Phase 1: The Jewel of Val d'Aran (Arties) involves 3 nights of luxury accommodation with loamy, flowy, and amazing trails. Riders will explore lush, loam-filled forests for 2 days, experiencing fast, flowy, and endless 'velvet trails'. After riding, relaxation includes a SPA and premium gastronomy in a stunning historic luxury hotel from the XIV century. Day 4: The Great Traverse is described as 'The Bridge Between Worlds', a monumental traverse towards the Aragon Pyrenees. This expedition includes riding across high mountain passes with a demanding 3-hour climb carrying the bike, navigating the Sierra Negra singletrack, and eventually dropping into the Benasque Valley and Cerler. Phase 2: The Kingdom of Peaks (Cerler & Benasque) is based in Cerler, under the shadow of the Aneto. Accommodation is in a newly renovated 12th-century hotel that fuses medieval history with modern luxury. Riders will spend three days exploring the 'Magic Kingdom' of Benasque, Castejon de Sos, and Cerler, with 'Magic Line' style trails, technical rock gardens, and long descents. Blacktown Trails emphasizes that a 'hardcore' ride deserves 'soft' landings, offering world-class trails and world-class service. This includes unmatched professionalism from certified guides, premium logistics like private shuttles and luggage transfers, and curated accommodation experiences. The tour offers a variety of terrain, blending trails into wild nature for a surreal experience, followed by typical Spanish hospitality with cervezas and great food to celebrate epic riding days. Accommodation is in traditional high-standard historic hotels. Optional transport from Barcelona's El Prat International airport is available. Included in the tour are 7 days of accommodation (3 in Arties, 4 in Cerler), 7 breakfasts, 7 packed lunches, 6 days of guided riding by experienced certified local guides, AWD shuttles, a maximum group size of 10 people, complete accident insurance, and over 16000m of descending. The price is from 1,899 € per person, taxes included. An advanced/expert level is required, demanding a high level of technical and physical skills. Optional services include tailor-made packages for solo travelers, transport from/to Barcelona's international airport, dinners, single room accommodation, and bike rental.
