Banyoles and Pla de l’Estany are ideal places for taking part in cycling and mountain bike activities.
In terms of road cycling, the roads are in good condition with moderate levels of traffic. Gradients vary, and you can choose between those routes which are steeper (towards Garrotxa and the Pyrenees), or those which are more flat (towards the Empordà and the Costa Brava).
The Banyoles Bike Station is happy to provide all manner of technical support for cyclists in the area. At the same time, the woods and mountains offer the ideal location for mountain bike activities.
The region is also home to Catalonia's first Mountain Biking Centre, which offers information and technical assistance and marks the starting-point for ten routes that run through the region. In total there are 252 kilometres of routes marked out for cyclists.
Thanks to the great conditions on offer in the area, it is home to the Catalonia Mountain Bike Cup, as well as other smaller but no less interesting races, many of which are organized by the Banyoles Cycling Club.
