About this experience

Do you want an adventure, to see more than just the city, escape the crowds and take a step into the unknown?

Based in San Sebastian we are the active tour specialists in the Basque Country providing incredible experiences. This tour is a firm favourite of ours, set in one of the deepest, wild woods of the Basque Country, we'll follow the ancient, railway route that once was used to bring iron from the mines to the city. It has now been transformed into a 25 km winding, peaceful escape alongside the river with the sounds of the woods taking us through timeworn tunnels and into little villages. There are some great breather spots along the way and you have the chance to cool off in the river at the end of the ride. It’s a good trail no big hills and pretty flat most of the way. Your level determines how far you will ride, the guide will completely tailor make the tour to suit you.

It's a great way to get those legs going, escape the masses and the heat of summer in the city.
