GLR 22 Route info
GLR 22 Region
You’ll Adventurise with the GLR 22 two provinces of northern Spain. This route crosses Huesca for almost it’s entire width. Near the end, you’ll hop borders into the mountainous north of Lleida. Read all about the region down below!

Adventurising isn’t only about getting as fast from A to B! A Region has so much more to offer! That’s why I give you some suggestions about things to do while Adventurising the GLR 22.
Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park
Time to leave your motorcycle behind, because this is a UNESCO National Park. One of its main features is the Odesa Valley. This gate to the Pyrenees is something to behold. I would describe it as the gates to Narnia, especially in spring when the higher Pyrenees still have their white peaks.

Gargantas de Escuaín
Although there are much wider, and deeper canyons in the region, this is one of the lesser-known. The perfect place to cool down on the hotter days, I would say so. Numerous waterfalls and pools provide a lovely place to sit down for a midday break.

Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park
The only National Park of the autonomous region of Catalonia! The Name of this park translates freely into “The winding streams and St. Maurice lake”, which refers to the many lakes with a glacial origin. With almost 200 lakes and peaks rising above 3000m, this is a National Park to visit during your day off!

Aneto
The highest mountain in the Pyrenees is located in the Huesca province, just at the border with France. With an impressive 3404 meters, it stands tall within the mountain range. If that wasn’t impressive enough, it also holds the largest glacier of the Pyrenees!

Connections in Jaca
You’re halfway through your Trans-Pyrenean adventure and now you have to make a decision. Do you want to go up north to finish your Pyrenean journey, or do you go down south to extend your trip? Take the GLR 21 up north to Orbaizeta, the finish of the Trans-Pyrenean route. This route will guide you through narrow canyons for over 145 kilometers. Due to regional legislation, only 10 kilometers will traverse over off-road sections. Although the road can’t be seen as a real off-road track, the surface condition is sometimes even worse than off-road!
On the other hand, you have the option to go south with the GLR 24. This 182-kilometer long GLR guides you through the Huesca province of Spain. Again, due to the stricter off-road laws in the region, this route only sports a little less than 39 kilometers of off-road sections.
Connections in Sort
You’ve ended up in Sort and depending on the season, you have two options to continue your motorcycle adventure. Take the GLR 17 straight into Andorra via the infamous smugglers pass. This 216-kilometer long GLR will lead you through Andorra south-east back into Spain. Depending on the season and the likelihood of snowdrifts, this route sports 87 kilometers of off-road sections at altitude.
On the other hand, the GLR 18 will lead you up north into France. Like the GLR 17, the length of GLR 18 is highly dependent on the season. Snowdrifts disappear in late May to June and hereby clear the roads. With a total length of 218 kilometers, of which 95 off-road, this is an adventure worthy GLR.
