2025 Andorra Epic Pyrenees excites and challenges with a 203 km route, 7.800 m of exciting descent and 6.500 m of arduous ascent. From the Race Village in La Massana, a 4-day Epic Series Legend category will explore Andorra's iconic MTB trails and venture far from the mundane to conquer the soaring Pyrenean slopes. After all, Andorra Epic is Epic Series, it is Legend category and each rider will have to earn their reward, along with the right to wear their finisher medal and thus be one step closer to joining the Epic Legend club.

 

 

 

 

Day 2 raises the stakes—and the altitude. Starting from the iconic Pal/Arinsal station, riders launch straight into the revered terrain of the Cross-Country World Cup circuit, a high-altitude proving ground where power and precision rule.

 

The peloton wastes no time: the opening ascent blends path, gravel, and road in a relentless push toward the Coll de Cabús at 2,300 meters—the roof of the stage. This is a climb for the grinders, where every pedal stroke is a promise of the epic descent to come.

 

And when it comes, it comes fast. The descent from Cabús is a thrill ride through wide-open high-mountain scenery—untamed, breathtaking, and fast enough to test the edge of control. But the challenge has just begun.

 

The second climb leads back toward Collada de Muntaner, a familiar name but a very different story from this angle. From here, the trail throws riders into the jaws of Super Sispony—an 8.2 km, 970-meter drop of pure technical mayhem. This is the most demanding descent of the entire race: off-camber switchbacks, rocky plunges, and line choices that can make or break a stage. It's raw. It's wild. It’s for the brave.

 

Once in the valley, the course levels out—but don't let your guard down. The final stretch into La Massana throws in a rollercoaster of terrain, demanding both legs and tactics. Fast gravel, short climbs, singletrack slices—it’s a true all-mountain finish.

 

Spectators will find prime viewing at Km 7 and Km 20, near the Coll de la Botella terrace, where the race will pass twice—offering perfect views and atmosphere.

 

Stage 2 is about contrast: high peaks and tight turns, raw effort and pure flow. It’s a stage that rewards full commitment. No holding back. No second guessing. Only forward.

 

Stage 2: Ride the ridgelines. Master the mountain. Earn the descent.

 

 

The third stage of Epic Andorra is where the legends rise and the weak legs tremble. Stage 3 is the Queen Stage—longer, higher, harder. It kicks off from the alpine haven of Canillo, and from the first pedal stroke, the riders are on sacred ground.

 

The route sweeps into the jaw-dropping Incles Valley, a wild, untouched pocket of the Pyrenees that whispers silence and roars beauty. But serenity ends here—because next comes the first climb: a relentless grind to Grandvalira station, the gateway to the highest summit of the entire race.

 

At km 29, the peloton crests the majestic Pic de Solanelles (2456m)—the roof of Epic Andorra. This is the high country where lungs burn, the air thins, and views stretch beyond belief. What follows is nothing short of wild: a rollercoaster descent of raw bike park terrain and wild trails all the way back to Canillo. This is mountain biking unchained.

 

But the race doesn't give an inch. The riders must now grind their way back up—again. This time it’s the serpentine ascent to Coll d’Ordino, a climb that breaks rhythm and saps energy, just as fatigue begins to creep in.

 

And then, when it feels like they’ve given it all, the trail serves the final masterpiece: Beixalís Flow—a 6.7 km, 690m vertical drop of pure rhythm and line precision. Fast, fun, and ferocious, this descent to Anyós is the reward riders didn’t know they’d earned.

 

The final stretch into La Massana is a blend of flow and fight. Road, singletrack, gravel—the terrain changes constantly, keeping riders on edge and fans on their feet.

 

Catch the action at km 34, near the MontMagical Activity Park, where spectators can arrive by cable car and watch the show unfold while enjoying park thrills.

 

Stage 3 is the soul of the race: epic climbs, wild descents, maximum altitude, and limit-breaking endurance. A crown awaits at the finish, but it must be paid for—in sweat, grit, and trail mastery.

 

Stage 3: The Queen’s Wrath. Climb higher. Descend harder. Earn your glory.

 

 

Stage 4 launches from the elevated forests of Naturland (1600m) and soars toward the rugged highlands of Andorra in a final dance between altitude and gravity. It may be the shortest of the stages—but make no mistake: this one is all about speed, precision, and heart.

 

From the gun, riders begin their ascent—a steady but demanding climb through a wild fusion of roads, trails, and open mountain tracks, all pointing toward the sky. At km 14, they hit the Refugi Roca de Pimes, perched at 2160m, the highest point of the day, where the landscape opens wide and the descent begins.

 

Then the tempo shifts dramatically. The race drops—fast, technical, relentless. With 1300 meters of accumulated descent, the riders will carve through forested ridgelines and flow trails that demand full focus and reward courage. This is gravity racing woven into a cross-country epic.

 

At km 15, spectators can catch the action and breathe in the alpine vibe at Naturland Activity Park, easily accessible by vehicle and loaded with activities for the whole family.

 

From here, the riders charge on—taking in a short road transition and veering into the heart of the city. They thread through the historic center of Andorra la Vella, a rare moment of urban rhythm before the wild returns.

 

As the river murmurs beside them, riders fly along canal paths and singletrack, flowing all the way into La Massana for the final arrival of Epic Andorra 2025. But not before facing the final gauntlet: the Comabella - AllIn Downhill—9 km, 880m vertical drop from Rabassa Forest to the valley floor, a final technical test for those who dare to push the edge.

 

With a profile built for drama and a finale set in motion by gravity itself, Stage 4 is a celebration of speed and the soul of the mountains. A fitting close to a truly Epic journey.

 

Stage 4: The Final Flight. Climb high. Fall fast. Finish strong.
