Before you go

Distances, elevation, climb counts and riding times are the estimates from our original itineraries. They are not live navigation data. Pace, stops, weather and route changes affect the day. Check the current track on our Komoot profile or ask our team before setting off; allow extra time for food, photos and your return.

Shorter rides

01 / Girona

Masllunés

Ride through the green Sant Gregori valley towards the Ter, linking two modest climbs before returning to Girona. A useful first-day loop when you want to get comfortable on your rental bike; the effort still depends on your pace.

02 / Girona

Vilademunts

Head north into the Pla de l’Estany on rolling lanes, with curves and repeated rises rather than a single major climb. The original itinerary counts no named climbs, but the elevation gain shows that this is far from a flat ride.

03 / Girona

Hincapie Loop

Cross the Gavarres twice, riding out towards the Empordà and back into the Girona valley. Two climbs make this a varied road loop when you want a more demanding morning without committing to a full day away.

  • Distance
    62 km

Longer rides

04 / Girona

Rocacorba

Approach Banyoles before tackling Rocacorba, the climb marked by the antennas above the landscape. Return down the mountain and follow the lanes back towards Girona. Save energy for the ascent and allow time for the descent.

A longer day towards the sea via Sant Grau, followed by the winding coastal road and the return through the Empordà. The original itinerary includes the GI-682 and the Calonge area: check the complete track before choosing your stops.

Mare de Déu del Mont

Ride through the Pla de l’Estany towards Mare de Déu del Mont for a substantial mountain day. The long distance and climbing demand careful pacing and food planning. Enjoy the views, then leave enough daylight and energy for the return.
