Spanish Pyrenees to Costa Brava Family Multi-Adventure Tour

Biking routes on this trip follow mostly quiet, well-paved country roads through the mountains, farmland, and traditional villages before reaching the coast. The first half of the trip is in the mountains, with an average elevation of 4,000 feet and multiple steep ascents and descents. After leaving the Pyrenees, the terrain becomes rolling, as we head toward the coast, where strong local winds, called the Tramuntana, can whip up in late fall and add challenge to exposed stretches. Roads are mostly quiet and well-paved, with a few busier stretches near towns. We offer strategic shuttles to avoid long downhills and trafficed sections.

Hiking routes on this trip range from forested, rugged mountain trails in the Pyrenees—which contain rocks, roots, and mud—to uneven, rocky coastal paths and some dirt roads through villages along the Costa Brava.

Kid-friendly routes are shorter with minimal elevation gain, and alternate kids' activities are available on days with longer rides. Some sections are on roads with traffic, so kids should be comfortable riding with cars or getting shuttled ahead in the van.
