SERVICES TO ATHLETES

The environment of the city of Girona and its province is ideal for any sport: road cycling, mountain-biking, horse-riding, swimming in the pool, whitewater swimming (in the sea), tennis, golf, running , canoeing, kayaking (in the lake of Banyoles or the Costa Brava)...

Internationally renowned professionals from the world of cycling visit the city and stay for long periods to train and prepare for competitions such as the Giro d'Italia, the Tour de France and the World Cup. On the other hand, teams like the Cannondale Garmin, the Greenedge, the Sky, the Rabobank or the BMC, among others, have or have had the city of Girona as their training base camp.

Girona has different natural spaces in the heart of the city that are ideal for the practice of sports, such as the Devesa Park, the Ribes de Ter Park and the Mediodia Park. In the eastern part of the city we have the Green Ring route which brings us closer to nature without moving too far from the city. (https://www.girona.cat/turisme/docs/anella_verda.eng.pdf)

The Vies Verdes in the province of Girona allow you to go from the Girona Pyrenees to the Costa Brava, passing through our city of Girona along old railway lines closed to traffic and along nature trails for pedestrians, cyclists and people with reduced mobility. They are non-motorized, easy, pleasant and safe routes that can be done in sections, according to your convenience. The route is accessible and integrated into the natural environment.

The city of Girona enters the Gavarres massif in a few minutes' walk. With an area of nearly 350 km2, the highest points of the massif are the twin mountains of La Gavarra and Arques (533 and 527 m, respectively). Other outstanding peaks are La Verge dels Àngels (485 m), Montigalà (467 m), Puig Cargol (363 m), Santa Pellaia (353 m) and Montnegre (285 m). It is an ideal place for running, mountain biking, and trekking. with many routes of all levels.

Another route of great beauty is the Ter Route, which runs along the Ter River from its source in the high mountains of the Pyrenees to its mouth on the Costa Brava. Like the previous one, it is a route that can be done on foot or by mountain bike and can be done in sections. (http://www.rutadelter.cat/)
