Bike Rental in Andorra: MTB, Downhill, E-Bikes and Cicland

Which bike do you need? A quick guide

Cicland: public e-bike scheme for urban journeys

Cicland is the public shared electric bicycle service. The current official map shows fixed stations in Andorra la Vella, Escaldes-Engordany and Sant Julià de Lòria, as well as virtual stops. Use it through the app: choose the type of pass, check the charge and range, read the QR code and return the bike to an authorised station or area.

It is a solution for urban journeys and not for downhill tracks, high mountain trails or access to the Bike Park. Confirm coverage and availability in real time in the app; a station shown on the map does not guarantee that a bike will be available.

When Cicland makes sense

• Short routes between central areas.
• A stay without a car, as long as the route and traffic are suitable.
• It complements the bus and walking routes, but is not suitable for carrying heavy luggage.

Bike Park Pal Arinsal: downhill, enduro and cross-country

The current official name is Bike Park Pal Arinsal. “Vallnord Bike Park” continues to appear in searches and on old pages, but can lead you to outdated information. The official 2026 page features more than 60 km across 30 mountain-bike trails, over 1,000 metres of vertical drop and five lifts.

The 2026 schedule lists daily opening from 20 June to 13 September and weekend opening from 19 September to 12 October. These dates change every year and some circuits may close due to weather, maintenance or events.

Where to rent mountain bikes, downhill bikes, e-bikes and gravel bikes

Viladomat La Massana

Viladomat offers a fleet of DH, enduro, MTB, e-bike, gravel and road bikes, with collection in La Massana or Intersport according to the booking details. A serviced bike, pedals and helmet are included; road, gravel and e-bike hires include a basic kit. Specific protective equipment may be extra.

Pic Negre

Official tourist information confirms rentals of mountain, downhill and enduro bikes, e-bikes and road bikes from shops located in areas such as Pal Arinsal and Soldeu-El Tarter. A guide service is also available. Confirm the collection shop before paying.

COMMENCAL Village

COMMENCAL Village, in La Massana, hires out DH, freeride, enduro, e-bike and children’s models from its own range, all prepared by its technical team. Online booking is recommended to guarantee model and size.

Andorra’s official 2026 mountain-bike map lists additional retailers, hire shops and repair services by parish.

Bike Park equipment: don’t just book the bike

For downhill classes, Pal Arinsal requires a full-face helmet and protective equipment. In programmes and camps, the list also includes gloves, knee pads, elbow pads and chest and back protection. The Bike Park lift pass is purchased separately from the rental and insurance is not automatically included.

• DH or enduro bike suitable for the trails and adjusted to your size.
• Full-face helmet and protective equipment appropriate to the level.
• A valid lift pass.
• Water, waterproof jacket, sun protection and basic repair kit.
• Insurance that covers the activity; confirm exclusions.

If you are a beginner, a lesson may be more useful than renting the most advanced model. Tell the shop your level, height and planned route honestly.

Range of e-bikes and choice of model

The advertised range is not guaranteed on all routes. Viladomat quotes a range of 80–120 km for models with batteries up to 800 Wh in certain conditions, but rider weight, assistance level, temperature, trail surface and elevation greatly alter the result. Above all, compare the battery capacity, the expected elevation gain and the availability of technical support.

For downhill, the priority is suspension, brakes and geometry; for gravel, size and gear ratio; for road riding, fit and gearing; for a family, actual availability of children’s sizes.

Book, collect and return without wasting the morning

1. Choose the type of riding and route before the model.
2. Reserve the correct size, dates, pedals and protective equipment; say whether you are bringing your own equipment.
3. Confirm the required ID, deposit, insurance, damage policy and cancellation terms.
4. Save the exact shop address and collection time.
5. Upon collection, photograph the bike’s condition, test the brakes and ask for suspension and saddle adjustments.
6. When returning, return the bike on time and follow the cleaning rules.

In July and August, and on weekends with events, book in advance. During the World Cup, some trails and access routes may be restricted.

Families and groups with different levels

Make a single list with each person’s height, age, experience and goals. A shop can prepare DH bikes for some, e-MTB for others and children’s models, but not everyone needs to ride the same trails.

Pal Arinsal’s Bike World has progression zones, and the school offers classes. Separate the group by level when necessary and arrange a meeting point. Forcing a beginner onto a difficult trail doesn’t save time and increases the risk.
