With a 36 km downhill route, this MTB trail will take you through the stunning landscapes of Pla de Beret, a special place located at 1,878m where the Noguera Pallaresa River originates, flowing into the Mediterranean. From here, you will follow a wide forest track, descending for 36 km along the Noguera Pallaresa River, passing through lush fir forests and alpine meadows. This route is rich in history and crosses important cross-border passes.
At km 6, you will reach the Montgarri Sanctuary, a perfect place to take a short break and enjoy the surroundings. You will continue for another 17 km until you reach the Fornet refuge, where you can enjoy a meal or even have a picnic anywhere along the way.
