We have our own fleet GT Grade e-bikes, which open more of the gravel climbs as well as being suitable for the gentler rolling routes.

We regularly use Orbea Alma hard tail MTB fitted with fast rolling tyres, which are perfect when easier gearing is required or if spending the whole day off road. They're better downhill, offering more grip and stability and slightly slacker geometry. Opens up all routes.

We also have access to 3rd party e-MTB and gravel bikes.
Many guests bring their own bikes too.
 

Gravel cycling can cover a huge range of trails and terrain, with different bikes better suited to some than others.

Our standard scheduled week covers the full range of terrain, including some challenging climbs. For these, standard 1x gravel gearing doesn't provide easy enough gears and we recommend MTB gearing or 2x with with a small chainring (30 or less)  and big cassette. (40+)

The harder climbs are not rideable on a 40/42 combination without some pushing.

We have many easier trails that don't tackle the bigger and steeper climbs.

We still recommend larger tyres (min 38/40c) and a good range of gearing. 

We can tailor the riding and routes to your level fitness and technical expertise. For example, if a group book onto a scheduled week first and want mellow riding, we'll run the week on that basis for others joining.

We host all kinds of gravel riders throughout the year, from bike packers wanting a base to explore the area from to packaged week-long gravel trips with guiding and full service.

Contact us to build your own trip for you and your group and check our scheduled events for gravel escapes.

We offer guided or self-guided trips of 3-14 days in length, free GPX routes and maps, optional airport transfers, massage service, post-ride meals and luxury accommodation at Casa Sanz.

To north of the Ontinyent and stretching from Fontanars to Gandia, there are hundreds o gravel routes, single track trails and MTB routes, not to mention fantastic road routes that form the cornerstone of many of favourite rides.

To the south of Ontinyent lies the Serra Agullent, with lots of spectacular gravel routes to Bocairent, Agres, Beneixama from where we can then join the Serra Mariola further to the south. The ride from Ontinyent to Bocairent is an all year round classic and this beautiful mountain town never disappoints visitors.

Stunning routes that start in Ontinyent and climb east towards Cova Alta on endless gravel ridges affording stunning views of the Vall d'Albaida and Serra Mariola.

One of the iconic mountains of the region and the highest peak in the Serra Mariola. It's possible to a gravel route all the way from Ontineynt (350m) to the peak at over 1200m.  It's not an easy climb but the views and terrain is jaw-dropping in its beauty. 

There are many spectacular routes through the including the Barxell Bridge near Alcoy, the Griffon Vulture colony and countless climbs that can be reached from Agres, Bocairent, Banyeres and Muro, all of which make for fantastic places to take a detour if you want to venture down from the mountains.
 

Set to the east of Ontinyent in the spectacular Ombria de Benicadell park, beneath the limestone slopes of the Benicadell mountain, these routes provide some of the best views of the Vall d'Albaida and the Carricola valley.
