Grava Lybica takes you on two high-altitude gravel routes starting and finishing in Llivia. Expect a mix of farm tracks, forest roads and borderland trails linking Cerdanya and the surrounding valleys. Demanding but fully rideable, both stages are self-supported, with timed segments for those who want to push and plenty of space to just enjoy the ride.
The long stage of these two days.
Starting and finishing in Llívia, the route heads towards the fast gravel roads of the Cerdanya valley. From there, the track climbs and dives across a series of ridgelines — Baga d’Alp, Saltèguet, Pla de les Forques, Serra dels Lladres and Serra de l’Artiga.
This sequence of climbs and descents brings you back to Llívia’s doorstep, with roughly 117 km and 2,410 m of elevation gain in your legs.
It’s a demanding ride, but one with incredible landscape variety. You’ll roll through wide open plains with endless views, dive into forest-wrapped singletracks, and grind up long, twisting climbs.
Different terrains, speeds and sensations — the full essence of high mountain gravel.
The shorter, but no less demanding, stage takes place on the sunny side of Cerdanya.
From Llívia, we head towards the southern slopes of the Axial Pyrenees, tracing a route that reaches the highest point of the entire weekend.
Riders will climb above 2,200 meters of altitude on a long and spectacular ascent at the foot of Puigpedrós, one of the region’s most iconic peaks.
Sunday’s stage covers around 79 km with 1,600 m of elevation gain — a ride through open, high-mountain terrain where the Cerdanya valley unfolds more than a thousand meters below.
The final approach back to Parc de Sant Guillem, Llívia, follows fast, flowing gravel roads in perfect condition — the ideal way to close a true Gravel d’Alçada weekend.
