This tour, the ZL-005 Badlands + Varianta, starts directly in Ainsa, the trail center of BTT Pirineo. At first you follow the river for a bit and then start climbing slowly and conveniently on - mostly - paved road. You pass a few farms and the village El Pueyo de Araguás before continuing up the mountain. As soon as you come to the small village of Torrelisa you leave the paved road and start riding on singletrails. This is the highest point, so from here it goes down mostly. The landscape is just beautiful in its ruggedness and emptiness. You follow the old farmers paths towards the "Badlands". In order to find the Badlands though you have to have a GPS device and follow the GPX track. Otherwise you will not find it, because going through the Badlands is an alternate route from the normal ZL-005 route. A few times you need to follow paths that don't look like you should follow them and like not many people have followed them in the near past. But keep going - it's so worth it! After the Badlands you ride back to Ainsa in a washed out riverbed. So probably you should not take it when there have been heavy rains in the night before - I have no idea how much water goes through this river after a few rains.

Mountain biking in the Zona Zero is a once-in-a-lifetime dream for many mountain bikers. The Zona Zero in northern Spain, just south of the Pyrenees mountain range, is an area around the trail center of Aínsa in the region of Sobrabre.
In 2011 the old trails that have been known to local mountain bikers since forever, have been put under the official name tag of "BTT Pirineo". The Zona Zero mountain bike center became really famous when the Enduro World Series first stopped there in 2015. For the 2018 tour a stop is planned there again which goes to show how important the BTT Pirineo in Spain has become for the international enduro racing scene.
Today, as of August 2017, the BTT Pirineo offers about 30 enduro tours - all well marked in the areas around Aínsa, Boltaña and up to Broto. All the enduro tours have names that start with ZZ-. Besides that it offers a few more easy tours to get started. Those start with a ZL- in their names. All the tours can be conveniently explored on the BTT Pirineo website - the GPX data are readily available for download there aswell.
One more thing that the BTT Pirineo is famous far: all the trails here are a bit harder than in other places - so beware! Know your skills well and then try yourself out on some of the amazing trails of the Zona Zero area.
I'm connecting you to the beauty of this world from #behindbars. New video from the singletrails every Monday. Sometimes I'll upload bonus videos about bike maintenance and reviews, unboxings, how-tos of gear for riding, filming or navigating.
