The Vallter 2000 alpine ski resort is the easternmost in the Catalan Pyrenees. It is located in the Ripollès region, in the municipality of Setcases. From its highest point, at 2,535 meters, you can see the Mediterranean Sea on clear days. This entrance/exit road to the area has some beautiful horseshoes for cycling.

Vallter 2000 Descent Tip

The descent from Vallter 2000 is steep, winding, and technical—especially challenging when you’re carrying a full bikepacking load. Make sure your brakes are strong and responsive before you start down.

🛑 Use both front and rear brakes smoothly to control your speed and avoid overheating. Take corners wide and slow down early, as some sections have sharp bends and rough patches.

💡 Pro tip: If your bikepacking setup includes heavy gear, consider breaking the descent into manageable sections with short breaks to keep your brakes cool and maintain control.
