Catalonia is a blast: Here are the new trails for March 2026

Küstenstrasse bei Tossa de Mar

The region of Catalonia in northern Spain is known as a popular destination for mountain bikers. In March, Ride returned to the Girona area to scout new routes and subsequently added a batch of new routes to the tour database, further expanding its already extensive collection.

In March 2026, Ride launched a total of 17 newly researched tours, with a focus on Girona and the nearby Costa Brava. Tour author Thomas Giger visited the region, which is particularly attractive in the European spring when the north is still covered in snow or at least has miserable cycling temperatures. The region is currently very popular with road cyclists and gravel riders, but it also has plenty to offer mountain bikers.

The March tours from Catalonia have been supplemented with routes from the French Maritime Alps and the Queyras Regional Park. These alpine routes can be added to your summer itinerary; they were mapped out over the winter by tour author Martin Depauli but have been freshly updated over the winter for Ride’s tour database.
