THE ROUTE

MAGIA NATURAL EREMUA-IRATI es una ruta de ciclismo All Mountain por etapas localizada en el conocido como Pirineo Vasco. Une con su pedaleo el Centro de BTT y Trail EREMUA con las montañas de Roncesvalles y la Selva de IRATI. ...
Enmarcado entre las grandes masas boscosas de Irati en el este y Anué en el oeste, hace acto de presencia un segmento del PIRINEO de baja altitud y formas redondeadas.
Lo delata un paisaje fácilmente reconocible por su característica sucesión de hayedos, prados, rebaños, cimas alomadas, algún roquedo, cabañas de pastores y pueblos de montaña ubicados en cotas relativamente altas.
El binomio de recursos naturales y baja altitud ha dado pie a que desde antiguo este sea un territorio altamente humanizado y -lo que a nosotros más nos importa- transitado.

El legado de los caminos surgidos de la actividad pastoril, del aprovechamiento del bosque, del contrabando y del transito de personas al margen de la legalidad fronteriza, ha generado lo que sin exageraciones podríamos denominar como un "microclima" para el ciclismo de montaña.
Si a este "microclima" añadimos el trabajo realizado en su área por el Centro de Trail y BTT EREMUA, y especialmente el de bikers locales que altruistamente se implican en el mantenimiento, la creación y la recuperación de senderos en un territorio que presienten como especialmente "dotado" para la práctica del MTB, el resultado "natural" es:
MAGIA NATURAL.

The experience offered by PIRINEOS PUNTO BIKE consists, in broad terms, of a Self-Guided Tour pack. This includes Accommodations, the GPS Tracks for the route, a detailed map-sketch with alternatives for each stage, and Luggage Transport from hotel to hotel.

MAGIA NATURAL vs BASOAK MTB

Clarification for those who know the area and may have confusion when visualizing that this 2 routes share territory.

The difference between BASOAK MTB and MAGIA NATURAL is that the 1st one extends over a wider territory that corresponds to the wooded area of the North of Navarra, and that currently can have up to 30 stages, while the 2nd is included in the 1st and it is concentrated in the specific and most central section of the Navarrese Pyrenees between the Selvas de Irati and the Quinto Real.
On the other hand, MAGIA NATURAL has a maximum of 4 stages and only 2 hotels are used, one in the EREMUA area and the other in the IRATI area.

panoramica en el col de Arnostegi


Route in 2 x H format

We label some of our routes as 2 x H proposals when they are designed to offer a more relaxed logistical experience without compromising on the sporting intensity.
To achieve this, where the geography allows for high-quality routes in a single area, we stay 2 nights at each hotel and include a circular stage at each location.

This results in less hassle for both participants and hoteliers, and reduces the cost of luggage transport services, making the Pack more affordable, especially for smaller groups.

Mapa-Magia-Natural-MTB

MAGIA NATURAL estandar track
The lines on this map are just one of many options. Unlike the usual routes by stages. MAGIA NATURAL has a less strict and defined itinerary, since the geography here is quite generous and that allows the routes to be adapted to the level and cycling style of the participants.


Mapa-Magia-Natural-MTB-PLUS

MAGIA NATURAL PLUS track
Depending on the sporting level of the participants, the route can be lengthened and the accommodation in Burguete replaced by the one in the Larraun neighborhood, closer to IRATI. In this option of MAGIA NATURAL, stages B and D -especially the last one- are quite demanding in terms of sports and you will have to be well trained to finish them in good condition.



In these tabs you can see the profiles of the stages and a brief explanation about the nature of each of them. This will allow you to have references to be able to decide which stages to include in your trip.

Panorama-Astobizkar-Adi

The antiquity of the Navarrese Pyrenees with respect to the rest of the mountain range is the cause of those soft and hilly forms -simply more eroded by the elements- that give way to the "potential" of MAGIA NATURAL.

"YouToo" pictures concept

For now, our trips are real - when they become virtual, we´ll let you know -. That´s why the photos we try to "seduce" with are photos we´ve allowed ourselves to classify as "YouToo", that is;
"You´ll be able to see it too".
Not only is there no AI in our photo or video album, but we also avoid the use of special effects, time-lapse cameras with hurricane-like skies, and the use of drones except for some geographical topics where they serve to enhance the information we want to convey. At the moment, we don´t have any proposals that include trips by plane or helicopter...We travel with the wheel on the ground... and from that position on the ground we took the photos shown here.

In the rural world that our routes run through, hotel establishments are usually small. It is often difficult to book the sequence of accommodations necessary to complete a Pack, especially if the number of participants in a group is a bit high.

Booking in advance is often the key. It is not a commercial trick on our part. Many times, that reservation with enough time in advance is simply the difference between being able or not being able to reserve the Pack.

In these proposals when the groups are odd, the accommodation is offered in double rooms and a single room.
- TRIPLE ROOMS ARE NEVER USED -


If you want the price of the Pack to be cheaper, perhaps we can lower the level of one of the chosen hotels. And also, if the number of participants is odd; request a triple room.
- This management is only done once the Pack has been contracted -


Rates for the whole year, subject to availability.
The prices may vary when the dates coincide with the Easter holidays or with the Patron Festivities of any of the places of accommodation.

  • As many nights of accommodation in Hotel as stages have the Pack
    The 1st in B&B and the rest in Half board
  • Shower and luggage reception at the end of the last stage despite you don’t spend the night at the finalising point of the route
  • Transport of luggage between hotels
    1 bag or package of a maximum of 20 kg per person
    If not needed, the cost of this service will be deducted from the proposal

  • Tracks of the route in GPX format for mobile phones or GPS devices and printed map with each day routes options
  • Explanatory printed map-sketch of the different route options for each stage
    One per stage Download sample
  • Link to services that may be necessary along the route
  • Presentation of the route and delivery of information in hand the day of the arrival of the group to the hotel or the morning of the next day when groups are of 6 or more people
  • Telephone assistance for incidents or consultations during the days of the contracted activity
  • Beers or other consumptions outside the proposed menus in the dinners or during the stay in hotels
  • Meals in restaurants at the time of the noon, unless it has been agreed previously to replace dinner with meals
  • Any kind of sports material, helmets, shoes, etc
  • Mechanical Assistance during the activity
    If possible, we will try to help you in case of a breakdown, but in many situations this help can be very limited due to lack of specific spare parts or other circumstances. The cost of the service if it can be done is € 18 per hour + € 0.40 per kilometer.
  • Anything not expressly indicated in the offer
  • Airport/station pick up
    We put you in contact with the transfer companies that provide these services. We do not include its cost in our proposal.
  • Bicycle rental
    We put you in touch with a rental service in the nearest place to the route start point
  • Hire Asistance / Accident Insurance
    and / or Trip Cancellation Insurance
  • Best time to go: The route can be done once the snow disappears in the highest mountains of the route. From there, we dare not say that one era is better than another. It really depends on the specific weather of the days we choose.
       Do not underestimate the weather, not even in the middle of summer. The conditions -especially in the Pyrenees- can be identical to those of the Central Pyrenees. To summarize... our advice is: bring even the long culotte and if it doesn´t come out from the suitcase, all the better.
       In summer it is necessary to be aware of the possibility of storms -frequent in the afternoons-.
  • Type of tracks: Casi todas las etapas se caracterizan por "sobredosis" de senderos. Esto hace que la duración de las etapas resulte ser habitualmente mayor que lo que las cifras técnicas de la misma nos pueden sugerir.
       Deberemos recorrer algunas secciones de carretera por los condicionantes geográficos que genera la ubicación de los hoteles.
  • Ideal bike: Preferably a dual suspension MTB bike.
  • Orientation: The route must be followed with a GPS device or with the mobile phone App that you are used to using for the same purpose.
       It is not advisable to try to learn how to use an App on the fly.
       We do not provide Apps or GPS user manuals. It is up to the users to have this knowledge.
       There is no on-site signage.
  • Ciclability: Depending on the technical skills and strength of each person, the route is 98%.
  • Provisioning: Although we sometimes find refreshment points, depending on the time of year we may find that some establishments are closed. The documentation we provide at the start of the route provides information on the options at each stage.

How to Hire - In Short -

Okay, you´ve got it clear, you´ve analyzed the proposal, the rates seem appropriate, and you´ve decided that this is going to be your route.
The next thing that comes to mind is What should I do now? What are the next steps I have to take to book the trip?
In short, it would be this:
  Contact us in the way you prefer from any of the contact options we provide.
  Tell us the day you would like to take the trip,
  the day of the first stage by bike,
  the number of people in the group,
  the route in question, indicating the number of stages when this is optional,
  the information on whether anyone in the group requests a single room,
  and the information on whether it is necessary to add a night at the end(in the event that this last night is not included by default)

When we receive this information, we will send you a pre-reservation document with the program and the details for paying the deposit. We request this to begin the hotel reservation process. Once we receive the deposit, we will block the rooms and send you a firm reservation. If there is no hotel availability, we will look for alternatives, and if none are available or you don´t find them suitable, we will fully refund the deposit amount.

The document we send you will indicate the deadline for payment of the complete package (usually 15 days before the start of the trip)
Oh! And until that day arrives, it´s a good idea to train.
