“Does Bergueda have gravel?”, “Are there gravel tracks in Bergueda?”, “Is Bergueda all about mountain biking, right?”, “Has there been a gravel race in Bergueda?!?” … How many times have we heard these types of questions? We can say with certainty that gravel in Berguedà is fantastic, with landscapes that will constantly change in front of us: farmland, wooded areas, impeccable tracks, flat or more uneven roads. We dare to say that this region offers gravel for all tastes.
The Baix Berguedà area, where most of the routes we present here run, offers softer gravel, with fewer unevenness and smoother surfaces, compared to Alt Berguedà. However, we must not forget the northern part of the region. Some of the mountain bike routes, such as La Catllaràs, can offer gravel cyclists an extra point of adventure, with more physical and technical difficulty, which many will surely also enjoy. But if you want to enjoy authentic gravel in Alt Berguedà, we definitely recommend the Pedraforca route, which will take us to see the mountain of the same name, an emblematic symbol of the region, within the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park.
This route will also allow us to reach viewpoints with 360-degree views, a real treat for the eyes.
gravel routes in the southern part run through a natural and agricultural space that sums up the essence of Baix Berguedà: plateaus with small hills and valleys formed by rivers and streams. All this natural wealth is mixed with the unique culture and history of the region. While we pedal, we can experience life up close in the farmhouses scattered throughout the area, the history and legacy of the textile colonies that unfold along the Llobregat River, or the grandeur of the Romanesque churches and hermitages that decorate the landscape. All these elements will make each route become a true journey for our senses, without forgetting, at any time, the gastronomic offer that the towns of the region offer us. From a stop to refuel at a traditional bread oven to a good menu after a very intense pedaling.
