Puro Pirineo is the trail network of the Benasque valley, surrounded by the highest peaks of the Pyrenees, including the Aneto and Maladeta. The routes follow forest roads, old shepherds' paths and fine singletrack between villages such as Benasque, Cerler and Sahún. Long climbs are rewarded with alpine descents and magnificent views. The area has also hosted its own enduro races (Puro Pirineo Enduro).
