Full description
If you think that climbing the sierra is only for people with lungs of steel, you haven't tried an e-bike tour yet!
On this route through Navacerrada, you'll conquer the Sierra de Guadarrama without losing your strength. Forget about suffering on the slopes: thanks to the power of the e-MTB, you will enjoy every corner of the valley of La Barranca without losing your breath.
Choose between a ride of approximately 1 hour or 2 hours and get ready for a dose of fresh air and fun in a unique natural environment just a stone's throw from Madrid.
What we will do
We will meet at the meeting point in Navacerrada, Madrid, 30 minutes in advance. There, the organisers will welcome us and equip us with everything we need: helmet, gloves and protective gear. Before setting off, we will receive a brief training on the handling of the e-MTBs so that we feel comfortable with the electric assistance from the first pedal stroke.
We will start the route leaving the asphalt behind to enter the heart of the Guadarrama National Park. We will immediately feel the change in temperature and the scent of Scots pine as we ride along the forest tracks in the valley of La Barranca. Thanks to the power of the engine, we will overcome the first slopes as if nothing had happened, enjoying the rhythm of the group and the protected environment that surrounds us.
The route we take will depend on the duration you select at the time of booking. If you choose the option of between 45 minutes and 1 hour, we will focus on a dynamic route that will take us to the Fuente de la Campanilla, an emblematic spot where the sound of water is the protagonist and the perfect place for a short break in the middle of nature before returning.
If we choose the 2-hour option, the challenge continues and we will continue climbing steadily towards the Mirador de las Canchas. In this section, the e-bikes will show their full potential, allowing us to reach high altitudes without exhausting ourselves, crossing ravines and steeper areas. When we reach the top, we will enjoy a privileged panoramic view of the peaks of Madrid before starting the descent.
Finally, we will return to the starting point feeling the breeze and the satisfaction of having conquered the mountain on two wheels. We will say goodbye to the team with renewed energy after having experienced an active day and total disconnection. The activity will last approximately 1 to 2 hours, depending on the selected route.
