Ride an Electric Mountain Bike

Although the Bardenas Desert can be explored entirely on foot, there are also authorized and marked routes for bikes and cars. Signs indicate which roads are accessible, which are closed to traffic, and what type of vehicle is allowed.

Our mountain bike tours in the Bardenas allow you to discover the secrets hidden in a desert landscape with whimsical shapes, resulting from erosion caused by wind and rainwater. During the tours, you’ll have the opportunity to admire all the chromatic richness of the Bardenas Desert, made up of ochres, blacks, grays, and browns.

There is a network of 190 kilometers of bike trails accessible to any average cyclist, as the topography of the Bardenas Desert presents almost no technical difficulties. Flat sections are numerous and long climbs are rare. Although there are steep climbs, they are neither very steep nor impossible.

The Bardenas tourism office has published a brochure describing 9 mountain bike routes of different lengths, ranging from the shortest route (8.6 km) to the longest route (68 km). An experienced cyclist can complete them all in two or three days maximum. At the beginning of each one, a sign indicates the name of the route. You’ll find others placed at intersections. While the profile of the Bardenas mountain bike routes doesn’t represent an obstacle, the north wind, called “cierzo,” can be quite bothersome.

We offer our guests guided tours in the Bardenas Natural Park, accompanied by specialists. Our guides don’t just lead you to a place you don’t know, but they also convey respect for this unique space. Ultimately, they’ll help you understand that preserving the Bardenas Desert is the responsibility of everyone who visits this place through our Bardenas mountain bike tours.

In addition to our mountain bike tours, we offer the possibility of renting bikes to explore the Bardenas Desert at your own pace. However, if you decide to discover the Bardenas with our guides, we adapt to your level and offer simple and short routes or, conversely, more difficult routes that require a certain level of fitness. Full-day activities, including a picnic, can also be arranged.

In any case, if you choose our guided mountain bike tours in the Bardenas, you’ll only have to focus on your bike. Here are the 5 mountain bike routes we offer.
