MTB Roses - Vilaüt

Type: MTB
Direction: Clockwise
Distance: 25 km
Duration: 2h 30'
Accumulated climb: 200 m
Accumulated descent: 200 m
Difficulty: 1/3

Description:

An easy route, suitable even for families, that allows you to take in two very different and, at the same time, neighbouring landscapes.

The first part is flat, agricultural wetlands, with ponds, pasture, and meadows, towards Lake Vilaüt where you can enjoy the most unspoilt landscapes of the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà.

Next, you approach the lower part of the Serra de Rodes, passing through the beautiful village of Pau and, if you wish, Palau-Saverdera, to discover rougher landscapes, where the cultivation of olive trees takes centre stage, and with views over the Alt Empordà plain.

 

PRECAUTIONS

  • When you leave the Ciutadella, you have to cross the road by a pedestrian crossing.
  • At the start, you’ll find the ford across the Riera de la Trencada stream which may be flowing with water if it has rained the day before.
  • Take care at the various points where you cross county roads.
  • The farm tracks can be used by people, bicycles or farm vehicles.
  • Respect the rules of the Aiguamolls Natural Park when you enter the Nature Reserve area.
  • You can’t take your cycles right up to the door of the hide at Lake Vilaüt.
  • Respect the livestock and do not leave gates or fences open.
  • Be careful when passing through the town of Pau as the streets are narrow.
