Why Andorra for a bike park weekend from Barcelona
On a single trip you get two different bike parks, with hotels a few minutes from the lifts:
- Vallnord Pal Arinsal (La Massana): 30 trails and over 60 km of downhill, enduro and cross-country, with beginner areas and World Cup trails. 1 gondola and 3 chairlifts.
- Grandvalira E-Bike (Encamp, Canillo and Soldeu): 111 km of waymarked routes for electric bikes only, with 4 gondola rides a day included in the Bike Pass.
You book hotel and Bike Pass together, with a price per person that already includes everything, and you can add the other bike park's Bike Pass from any hotel.
Getting there from Barcelona
- By bus: Andorra DirectBus leaves from Barcelona Sants and El Prat airport; AndBus connects Barcelona and Toulouse with Andorra, stopping at El Prat. ALSA and HIFE also operate.
- By plane: if you are coming from outside Catalonia, Barcelona-El Prat airport is 200 km from Andorra; Andorra–La Seu d'Urgell airport is 27 km away.
- By car: Pal Arinsal has free car parks at the access points to its sectors, and Grandvalira has car parks in Encamp, Canillo and Soldeu.
The typical weekend
Leave on Friday, two bike park days on Saturday and Sunday and head home on Sunday afternoon. That is the plan we use to calculate the prices on this page: 2 hotel nights and a 2-day Bike Pass for 2 adults.
