PURO PIRINEO
Puro Pirineo
Puro Pirineo, in Benasque Valley (Huesca, Spain) has grown into one of the best destinations in the Pyrenees to practice mountain biking. Part of Huesca la Magia de la Bici, these unique landscapes offer long and epic downhills in the high mountains. The trails are surrounded by 3000m peaks like Aneto (3.404m) in the heart of Posets-Maladeta Natural Park , one of the most ecologically important nature reserves in the Huesca Pyrenees.
Downhills like Rincón del Cielo, Gallinero, Rabaltueras, Puerto de Sahún and Sierra Negra are famous around the world and you can be sure that some of them will be present in Trans-Nomad Experience.
A project managed by the Puro Pirineo Association that’s responsible for recovering and maintaining about 1000 km of routes and trails for mtb of all levels of difficulty. But it’s true that our favourite routes are those which reach more than 2000m altitude.
Surrounded by other bigger bike zones like Zona Zero Sobrarbe in the west, Val d’Aran in the east and french Luchon Valley in the north, Puro Pirineo is a unique destination to enjoy pure mountain bike.

VAL D'ARAN
Val d´Aran
This beautiful Pyrenean valley, located in the north of the province of Lérida and for historical reasons on the northern French side of the Pyrenees, has become in recent years one of the most attractive areas for the practice of enduro and downhill in the Pyrenees.
The good work carried out by Aran Bike Parks, in trail buiding in the Basa de Oles and Enduromies sectors, has turned this Pyrenean valley into one of the hotspots of national and international enduro.
But it not only has prepared trails, it has beautiful areas and high mountain trails on the border with Valle de Benasque and neighbouring France with passes at more than 2000 metres. Therefore, it is not only a perfect destination for enduro mtb, but also for mountain biking.
For this reason, Trans-Nomad in its 2018 edition, made 2 stages in this valley that were the most spectacular and demanding of that edition, crossing from the Benasque Valley through the Puerto de Benasque and returning through the Llauset reservoir. The transnomaders who were in that edition remember those high mountain passes as some of the most beautiful they had ever done.
This year Trans-Nomad Experience returns to visit Val d’Aran and our good friends of Aran Bike Parks.
