Bicycle culture

There is a profound culture linked to cycling in the Aldeias do Xisto, which has made them the first Cyclin' Portugal destination in the country, putting cycling at the service of the area's development. Here you can challenge all your dexterity and endurance on trails with high technical demands, or simply let yourself go on a short and relaxed nature ride. There are dozens of trails duly signposted, with various levels of difficulty, supported by a network of Cyclin’ Portugal Centres and Bikotel accommodation specialising in welcoming cyclists. Here you can challenge all your dexterity and endurance on off-road tracks, on epic climbs that recall the mountain stages of the most mythical world races, on dizzying downhill descents, or on trails where official competitions have already taken place.

Cyclin' Portugal Centres

The Aldeias do Xisto were the first Cyclin' Portugal destination in the country. These are permanent sports infrastructures, equipped with car parking, changing rooms, self-service bicycle service station (washing, air and mini-workshop). The Centres offer trails for various disciplines, such as cross country, downhill or freeride, internationally approved and with four levels of difficulty, suitable for all types of practitioners.

The excellent natural conditions, combined with the strong investment in creating and improving infrastructures, have brought some of the most important national and international competitions, for professional and amateur, to the Aldeias do Xisto.
