Can you imagine cycling along the cliffs of the Congosto de Ventamillo, one of the most spectacular canyons in the Pyrenees? With this route, you can circle the gorge from both sides, combining the enjoyment of sports with scenic and natural interest and excellent views of the cliffs. First, we will travel along the right bank of the canyon, which requires climbing from Castejón de Sos to Chía and then taking the track that leads to Seira. The track gradually becomes a demanding trail that descends through rocky terrain with some cleaner and more comfortable sections. The trail ends in a steep track that descends to Seira and then to Seira Colonia, where the Ésera River and the national road are crossed. The route continues along the local road that ascends to Abi and after 2 kilometers takes the track that leads to Gabás, with a hard climb until the junction where the vertiginous trail that crosses the gorge starts, a very technical and exposed black variant. From the junction, the base route continues along a track with good views to Gabás to descend to El Run by the beautiful trail shared with routes 1 and 4.
ATTENTION
There is a black variant between Seira and Castejón de Sos along a PR trail that has difficult passages with large vertical drops, so extreme caution must be taken, speed must be moderated, and you must get off the bike whenever necessary. This section is frequented by hikers, remember that they have right of way!
