The passion for exploring trails, whether on foot or by MTB, is what inspired M. Àngels Nogué and Fermin Garcia to create this version of the travel guide “La volta a peu a la Garrotxa“ written by Anna Plana and Sergi Romero.

By chance, just a couple of days before the guide’s presentation, M. Àngels happened to meet Anna and Sergi, who explained that they were about to present La Volta a peu a la Garrotxa, published by Llibres de Batet. Immediately, she asked if it could be done by MTB… and that’s where it all began.

Back home, with the guide in hand, the project started to take shape. Fermin and M. Àngels set themselves the goal of completing La Volta a peu a la Garrotxa by MTB for two reasons: as a personal challenge and to see if it was possible to offer an MTB variant of the Volta a peu.

The main idea has always been the same: never break the essence of Anna and Sergi’s Volta. In fact, the MTB Volta shares 90% of the trails with the original hiking Volta.

To make La Volta a peu a la Garrotxa as bike-friendly as possible, it was necessary to find alternative tracks, paths, and trails for certain sections.

For each of these variants, a short explanation has been included in the section “Attention MTB rider”. Even so, depending on each cyclist’s level, at times it will be necessary to put a foot on the ground.

After all, Garrotxa literally means “rough land”, so we can get an idea of the kind of terrain we will encounter.
