ACT Pyrenees Unpaved! ^UPP

Andorra | France | Spain

The Pyrenees have long been known to be a paradise for motorcyclists and more than just an alternative to the Alps.

Off-road aficionados in particular can find their bliss in this mountain range that stretches along the Spanish-French border all the way from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic Ocean.

With Touratech developing their Adventure Country Tracks and Edelweiss’ knowledge of how to set up and conduct memorable motorcycle tours, joining forces seemed like a natural conclusion. So, we did. This tour incorporates the original ACT as much as possible without sacrificing the typical comfort you can expect on an Edelweiss tour.
You will spend more than half of your riding time on unpaved surfaces which can be anything from forestry roads to rough mountain trails. They may be steep in places, wet and muddy after rains, and even water crossings are possible. The one thing that all these tracks have in common is their remoteness; they lead you deep into the backcountry, where the land seems untouched, and the scenery is gorgeous. Of course, the paved sections are beautiful and fun, too, and they offer a (sometimes much appreciated) respite from the dusty parts.

You don’t have to be an enduro pro to join this tour, but you should be a confident rider with some positive off-road experience. If you enjoy going “off the radar” for a few days and combining the challenge of riding off-road with all the comfort and safety of a guided Edelweiss tour, then this one’s for you.

Join us in the Pyrenees and give it a go on the Adventure Country Tracks!

The tour has been designed for solo riders. However, a skilled rider-passenger team can do the tour with two-up as well.
