Girona - Banyoles - Rocacorba Road Cycling Route

It’s not a surprise that Girona has become a popular destination for cyclists from around the world. As soon as you arrive to the town you will feel the cycling culture everywhere. One of the most iconic routes from Girona is going to “l’Estany de Banyoles” and climbing the Rocacorba. This amazing climb has even inspired the name of a cycling clothing brand that produces and design in Girona.

For this route we start in Girona old town, after a warm cup of coffee we head toward l’Estany de Banyoles. Riding through some beautiful farms and “Masia’s” you don’t even notice the little elevation you will gain to reach the Lake of Banyoles.

We go around the lake and after this easy part it’s time to tackle the challenging Rocacorba, a 13.8 km, 881m elevation and 6.5% avg gradient with some 11% section that will push your limits to the max.

After enjoying the 360° views from the top it’s time to head back to Girona to enjoy the amazing restaurants the town has to offer.
