What to expect
You'll collect your bike and helmet from the shop near La Concha, then spend the first half-hour riding through San Sebastián's streets before the terrain opens up. The climb to Mount Ulia is steady but manageable; your guide will choose trails matching the group's ability. Expect rocky descents, forest canopy, and sudden coastal views as you switchback down toward Pasaia. The final stretch follows established bike paths back into town.
