R07 NORTH VALLEY V2 – Charlé 63

Circular MTB route from Jaca that runs along the north of Jaca and the two sides of the River Aragon, first crossing the Jaca Forest area and then, on the opposite bank, two easy but totally different downhill trails that will be enjoyed by experts and novices alike. One is fast and with long straight stretches and the other is twisty and difficult, which will cause some problems on the bends for less technical bikers.

You head north and pass through the village of Ipas to climb a track that in a few kilometres will take you to the start of the first downhill path, the Claraco path, a path with long, fast straight stretches that, although it is close to 3 km long, will feel much shorter.

The highlight of this route is the second descent, a classic among local cyclists, the Charlé path: 63 downhill bends of all kinds, many of them 180º, that will not fail to impress.
