Pyrenees 2025
Bikepacking the Spanish Pyrenees
In the summer of 2025, I bikepacked El Piri, a 650km loop through the Spanish Pyrenees. I used my hardtail mountain bike with 2.1 inch tires for this trip and cycled fully loaded, with tent and cooking gear. The track follows primarily gravel roads, sometimes quite rough, and includes a lot of vertical meters. The route crosses many different areas and vegetations and is often quite remote. The route also crosses Andorra (ugliest 20km of the entire route) and France. I cycled a total of 8 days, 467km and 17'500 vertical meters.
