Mountain biking

Animas Mountain is a great excursion destination and also very popular with the locals. This ten kilometer route has a little bit of everything to offer: challenging climbs, spectacular viewpoints and exhilarating descents.

Look forward to steep uphills that will make your thighs burn. As soon as you reach the summit, the exertions are quickly forgotten. Because the view of the Animas River Valley is absolutely breathtaking.

Once you've had your fill of this magnificent panorama, it's all downhill. Get ready for a fast descent that is very entertaining thanks to loose stones and a few technical passages. And in no time you are back at the starting point of the tour.
