The Benidorm area is a paradise for the avid cyclist. There is a range of routes suitable for all riders whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro. Find a cycle trail that suits your fitness level and interests today!

For beginners, start with a leisurely ride along the flat coastal roads, enjoying the sea breeze and the beautiful scenery.

We recommend:

• A less strenuous route, going along the promenade on Benidorm’s main coastline. These rides along the seafront offer the same beautiful views, minus the challenging ascents, perfect for beginners and families.

For intermediate riders, there are plenty of rolling hills with stunning views, to offer a bit of a challenge.

We recommend:

• Sierra Helada – This is a challenging ride that takes you through the stunning Sierra Helada Natural Park. The route takes you along a winding road that offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea.

• Altea Hills – This ride is a bit shorter than the Sierra Helada route, but it’s just as beautiful. It takes you through the charming town of Altea and up into the hills that surround it. The climb is challenging, but the views of the coastline and the surrounding mountains make it worth the effort.

And for the more advanced riders, there are some seriously challenging mountain routes to test your stamina and endurance.

We recommend:

• Alto de Aitana – This 23 km route is one of the most challenging climbs in the region, with an average gradient of 5.8%. This ride is not for the faint hearted, but the views from the top are worth the effort.
• Coll de Rates – This route is another popular cycling trail in the area. The climb takes you through beautiful countryside, with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.
