The Canal in the Pyrenees: a cycling route waiting to be discovered

The La Canal pass in the Pyrenees is one of those hidden gems that surprises every cyclist. Located in the Ribagorza region, this short but intense climb offers a perfect challenge for those who enjoy mountain biking and seek new experiences off the beaten track.

The La Canal bike route is just 3,6 kilometers long, but it features a 201-meter elevation gain and ramps reaching up to 11%.
