“Puro Pirineo” routes are signed following the Frech Cycling Federation criteria which is internationally the most popular and recognized one.

On the routes you will find two different types of signs:  “Puro Pirineo” MTB waypoints and the ones used by the local administration “Comarca de la Ribagorza” to set their own MTB routes. They both follow the French Federation standards being the corporative logos and stickers the only difference between them.

In some cases only one type of waypoint will be used to set both “Puro Pirineo” and “Comarca de la Ribagorza” tracks to prevent mistakes. The routes will be distinguished by the route number  and the color that indicates its difficulty. The design of the “Puro Pirineo” and “Comarca de la Ribagorza” route numbers is slightly different as described below. Following this short explanation you might be able to recognize “Puro Pirineo” tracks.

	3. Start: At the beginning of every route you’ll find this sign that includes the number of the route, its difficulty and the direction you must follow.
