Cresta del Xut

This serene, meandering route blends quiet dirt tracks with stretches of asphalt, guiding us to the Cresta del Xut — a striking clay ridge with curves reminiscent of Dragon Khan. After dancing along its winding spine, we drop down to cross two ever-flowing streams. Following heavy rain, be prepared for higher water levels… and perhaps a barefoot crossing. After passing the river we will arrive at Fontsagrada, where we can take water. We continue on asphalt and track until we find the Abeller trail, then Bartotrail, Dalton’s, Verneda, Pont de Fusta to finish climbing up the track to Tremp.

ATTENTION!! This route is closed from October 1 to May 31 due to the nesting season of threatened bird species.

With clay-rich terrain, heavy rain — even the day after or in the following days — can turn the track into a mudfest, making it impossible to ride. And at the tail end of the route, the rivers can swell dramatically, making crossings risky.

On days of adverse conditions, we directly recommend changing zones and doing the Driblant Lo Fang route.

Normally, the best conditions for this route occur in spring and autumn.

On days when the ground is wet and compact, due to rain and humidity in previous weeks, the best flu conditions are given to fly over the clay of our territory.

Extreme caution must be taken on the descents, because the very dry clay does not have the grip desired by cyclists.
