CdB TRANS / PRE / PYRENEES of VOL’S OFFROAD

This TRANSPYRENEAN it is intended to take place in winter. Its central stages pass through the PRE-PYRENEES, thus avoiding the tracks that during this season of the year are covered by snow. We will lower the maximum height of the route of 2.000 / 2.500 meters above sea level to 1.200 / 1.700 approximately.

It is an equally beautiful and tougher journey, if it fits, that our classic CdB TRANSPYRENEAN. Its logistics are much more complicated due to the fact that depending on the season and the weather conditions, its route will vary, adapting to the circumstances of the current climate. Another handicap that we will meet, is that the days of sunlight are much shorter in winter periods.
