Routes and bike parks near Camping Laspaúles

Staying at Camping Laspaúles means being in a peaceful place, surrounded by nature and well connected to some of the most authentic valleys of the Pyrenees. Over time, this area has also become a reference point for those who enjoy mountain biking from a responsible, family-friendly and sustainable perspective.

From here it is easy to access initiatives that focus on environmental care, coexistence, and a cycling offer designed for different levels and ages. The Puro Pirineo project is one of the main drivers of this model, especially in the Benasque Valley and its surrounding area.

In this article, we explain what options are available for enjoying cycling near Laspaúles, which bike parks you can visit, and how all of this fits into a more conscious way of travelling.


Puro Pirineo: a model of sustainable cycling in the Aragonese Pyrenees

Puro Pirineo is an association that has been working for years to establish the Aragonese Pyrenees as a sustainable mountain biking destination. Its work goes beyond creating routes: it also maintains trails, improves signage, promotes coexistence with other mountain users, and encourages respect for the natural environment.

The project focuses on:

  • Continuous maintenance of existing trails
  • The creation of safe and well-designed infrastructure
  • The deseasonalisation of tourism
  • The involvement of local communities

For those staying at Camping Laspaúles, this translates into a network of accessible, well-maintained cycling spaces and activities designed to be enjoyed without rushing.


Dirt jump bike park in Castejón de Sos

One of the projects promoted by BTT Puro Pirineo is the Dirt Jump Bike Park in Castejón de Sos.

This space was created with the aim of expanding and diversifying the cycling offer of the municipality and the Benasque Valley area. It has been designed following technical and safety criteria, with lines of different levels, allowing both beginners and advanced riders to improve their skills.

The bike park:

  • is designed for young people, families and local residents
  • offers a controlled space to practise jumps and technique
  • and works as a complementary resource to the rest of the BTT routes in the area

In addition, the project is intended to host courses, training activities and events, strengthening the link between sport, education and community.

From Laspaúles, Castejón de Sos is just a short distance away, making it a great option for a different morning on the bike.


Cerler bike park: mountain biking in summer

Cerler is well known for its ski resort, but in recent years it has also developed a strong mountain biking offer during the summer season.

The Aramón Cerler Bike Park, developed in collaboration with Puro Pirineo, features routes designed for different levels. One highlight is the RedLine, a flow-style trail with berms, jumps and technical features integrated into the natural environment.

Key aspects:

  • The design aims to balance winter and summer mountain use
  • It is built using natural elements to minimise environmental impact
  • Outside the lift season, the trails remain accessible

For those staying at Camping Laspaúles, Cerler is a perfect day trip combining cycling, landscapes and high-mountain scenery.


Riding from Laspaúles

Laspaúles is located in the upper part of the Isábena Valley, a privileged area between the Benasque Valley and the Aran Valley, less crowded and highly valued by those seeking peace and quiet.

The surroundings of Laspaúles offer:

  • Traditional paths
  • Forest tracks
  • Routes ideal for relaxed mountain biking or gravel riding

This is not about large bike parks, but rather a perfect area for slow-paced riding, discovering small villages and enjoying the landscape without crowds. It is a way of cycling that fits perfectly with the spirit of the campsite and with active, respectful tourism.


Aran Valley: a key cycling destination nearby

Although a bit further away, the Aran Valley is a well-established cycling destination in the Pyrenees, with a well-developed network of MTB routes and specialised services.

It is a good option for:

  • A day trip from Laspaúles
  • More experienced cyclists
  • Those who want to combine different valleys during their stay

It is always recommended to check local tourist offices or official platforms beforehand to know the condition of routes and current regulations.


A way of travelling that fits Camping Laspaúles

Cycling is much more than a sport: it is a way to discover the land, connect with the mountains and travel more consciously.

Staying at Camping Laspaúles, close to projects like BTT Puro Pirineo, means:

  • Supporting local initiatives
  • Enjoying well-maintained infrastructure
  • Experiencing the Pyrenees in an authentic and sustainable way

Whether you come with family, want to improve your technique, or simply ride surrounded by nature, this area offers options for everyone.
