About
Across Catalunya offers a north-to-south bikepacking traverse through one of the Iberian Peninsula's richest natural territories. Starting from Vielha in the heart of the Lleida Pyrenees and finishing at Santa Susanna on the Barcelona coast, the route descends through unique geological corridors, ancient forests and historic trails. Distance options of 400 km or 700 km with 9,000 m of elevation suit different levels of ambition. The route's cumulative descending profile demands good neuromuscular fatigue management; in Push Training 360 the threshold-building and specificity-load phases are designed to reinforce stability on long technical descents and manage multi-day load, with weekly coach review so the arrival at the sea is as strong as the departure from the Pyrenees.
