    Long shot but, hoping someone who has been out wit singletrack safari might be able to share some knowledge.

    Does anyone know of any lift accessed (non bike park) trails that don’t end in massana or sisphony?
    Does anyone know where the trail down to the campsite at xixerella starts?
    Is there any trails down to pal from the col de botella?

    Cheers

    I’d be interested to know this as well as I’m going there on Friday!

    There are loads of off-piste trails that end up right back in town. Last time I was there I pretty much only rode those trails, we were riding with a local girl called SoSo who ran CG´s skills school back then, that was about 4 years ago, and I think she offers some guiding. She was fantastic, spoke English, knew all the trails and as you would expect she was a pretty handy rider.

    I’m going out there on Friday too and have been trying to find a nice big mountain route nearby- there’s a few on Strava if you click on “explore” but the majority seem to be the main bike park runs.

    Martin from Singletrack Safari said there isn’t a great deal there like that (which he’s found) and the local maps are next to useless. There must be some exciting hiking trails somewhere, though- I was just going to ask in tourist information when I arrive. If I find anything I’ll report back.

    iridebikes- are you going out with Singletrack Safari?

    A local I know has offered to mark some trails on my map. Apparently there is a load of stuff from the col d’ordino ( needs an uplift) and stuff that goes from the top lift over towards arinsal.

    If anyone needs info ask at the bongo (I should be still around) in the carpark and I can at least tell you where some of the good stuff into massana is.

    Ian, that’d be cool. Have you got an e-mail address?

    FFS. I didn’t realise we had more than one singletrack member in our bunch. I hope we don’t spend the weekend discussing wheel sizes and thumbshifters…

    I’ve found this, not sure if it’s any good or not but at least we know other riders are using them.

    Sweet- there’s a walkers map on the vallnord website as well- not sure how legit the walkers trails are? Shall I be bringing my half-lid too?

    Walkers trails are fair game. A lot of the off piste I have been shown starts at a sign ” no Mtb”. Andorrans are pretty cool about stuff like that 🙂

    It’s meant to be pretty good and is one of the way marked trails I think.
