This tour is proposed by the Spanish team as a 4 hour tour and a medium-high difficulty named after the typical bird of this mountain region called   “Treparriscos”. We have not tried it but obviously we would need much more than 4 hours to accomplish these 90 kilometers. Let’s hope that we will have the opportunity to visit them in June.

The description
« The “Treparriscos” is a tourist bicycle tour of 90 km and 965 ms of difference in height, which is taking place the last Saturday of June every year. It is a route by road that begins in the city of Sabiñánigo, province of Huesca, in the Aragonese Pyrenees. The route is on the Tena Valley with marvellous mountain landscape views.

From the start in Sabiñánigo, it starts to ascend slightly to the village of Biescas, passing through the top of Bubal, the tunnel of Escarrilla. There we turn to the right over the dam and we reach the village of Lanuza, later we arrive at the village of Sallent de Gállego to finalize the ascent in the ski resort of Formigal, very close to the French border. We return there by the state road passing through the villages of Sandiniés, Tramacastilla and again Biescas until the finish in Sabiñánigo. »
