Description

An epic route that circles the Tozal de Guara, featuring a high proportion of technical trails.

Leaving Panzano, you follow a track and path to the Calcón reservoir and then on to the Vadiello reservoir, where a long climb along a track to Cuello Baíl begins. From there, you head down the track to Mesón de Sescún and then along a long path to Nocito. After climbing up to the Monastery of San Úrbez, the route joins the GR-1 trail to Used, where the track leading up to Collado de Vallemona, the highest point of the route, begins. The descent to Panzano consists of two sections: the first is very rocky and technical, and the second is smooth, fast and great fun.

A beautiful yet demanding route that will take you on a real adventure through the spectacular landscapes of the Sierra de Guara.

WARNINGS

  • This is a physically demanding route; you’ll need to set off early and avoid the hottest times of day.
  • The trails are rugged and rocky, so you need to have good tyres and stay focused to avoid falls.
  • No water supply between Panzano and Nocito nor between Used and Panzano. It is important to top up the water at these points.
  • You need to bring plenty of food; the route requires you to eat well, not just energy-rich food. It is recommended to make a stop at the refreshment station in Nocito.
  • The path from Vallemona to the Arraro track is very stony and difficult to cycle on in places. Don’t push yourself too hard, and if necessary, get off the bike – remember that the second section is faster and more fun.

Signage

  • GPS tracking route. There are signs for the Sierra y los Cañones de Guara Natural Park at some junctions, mainly between Cuello Bail, Nocito and Used.
