Mountain biking
BTT ( the Spanish abreviation for mountain biking) is extremely popular in the region in general and most partucularly in the Àger valley.
Under the direction of Noguera regional council, the local councils of Àger, Avellanes and Os de Balaguer, have begun working together to start creating the "Montsec Montain Bike centre" (Centre BTT de Montsec).
The centre has meeting points at the campsite in Vall Àger and another at the monastery of Santa Maria de les Avellenes, where you can find information and services for all mountain bike enthusiasts.
The routes cover all types of terrain and there are more than 400 km of circuits signposted for every level.
