With the same resourcefulness as their forefathers, the inhabitants of Artajona claim a leading role in the world of MTB thanks to the extensive network of local trails. Not in vain was the village an independent kingdom between 1150 and 1158. Kings, queens, bishops and noblemen have lived within its fabulous mediaeval walls and beyond them an imposing network of trails has been carved out for the enjoyment of MTB fans.

The route begins in the lower part of the village and, halfway along, takes you to a modern structure, the Artajona dam, built on the Navarre Canal to form a small inland sea. A little further on, more constructions, this time very old ones, the Artajona dolmens in El Portillo de Enériz. It is in this part, the Sierra de Ibarbero, where the most legendary trails are to be found.

This route, of medium difficulty, offers a true delight for the senses, with fun trails with plenty of flow.
