Descobrir Batalha

Batalha Mountain Biking Centre

Considered to be one of Turismo de Portugal’s 100 best ideas by EVASÕES Magazine, the Batalha – Pia do Urso Mountain Biking Centre is made up of a building equipped with changing rooms, sanitary facilities, an information area and space for washing bicycles, as well as carrying out small repairs. From here, visitors can benefit from a free network of bike trails, which are all properly signposted and cover a distance of over 300 Km, which are divided into four levels of difficulty, taking keen cyclists through the Municipalities of Batalha, Porto de Mós and Leiria.

 

The Batalha Centre is proud to have been the first Mountain Biking Centre in the country to be approved by the UVP / Portuguese Cycling Federation.

 

This centre benefitted from financial support from PRODER – A Rural Development Program
