About this experience
Discover the Via Verde de la Val de Zafán by bike, following an old railway line through tunnels, bridges, mountains and peaceful countryside. This is an easy and scenic cycling experience, mostly downhill, designed for travelers who want nature, adventure and beautiful views without a very hard physical challenge.
The highlight of the route is La Fontcalda, a hidden natural gorge with crystal-clear river pools where you can relax and, in warm weather, enjoy a refreshing swim. A perfect mix of cycling, nature and local landscapes away from the crowded tourist routes.

.Our route will last 34 km, and we finish in Xerta where we can seat at the cafe and have a cold drink.
You will love the excitement of cycling through the many tunnels and over bridges. Most of the tunnels have automatic lighting activated by a sensor as you enter the tunnel. Others don’t, so it’s even more exciting when headlamps are needed!
In the middle of the route we will stop to swimm in the river - natural pool and enjoy a cooling dip and a picnic. The photo below is taken at Fontcalda, a true beauty spot surrounded by steep sided cliffs and where there are barbeque facilities and picnic tables.
Then finally, when we leave the higher mountains behind us will re-unit with the majestic Ebro which you will ride alongside for the last few kilometres.
La Fontcalda is a natural gorge on the Canaletes River, near the sanctuary. The river narrows between rock walls and forms natural pools and ponds, which are very tempting for a swim in hot weather
