Route

In 2026 we celebrate the fifth edition of Kromvojoj with a brand-new route and two distance options. Both will be circular, starting and finishing in Alforja, in the Tarragona region.

The first 400 kilometres are shared by all riders before each distance heads off in its own direction. The Redux version will feature two checkpoints, while the longer route will include three.

This edition is a tribute to the origins of Kromvojoj: the entire route will take place within Catalonia and will be fully paved from start to finish. In addition, every checkpoint will be new, with none repeated from previous editions

• 1.335km / 26.000m+
• 885km / 16.500m+ (Redux Version)
• Maximum time allowed: 7 days

Kromvojoj 2026

For this edition, Kromvojoj traces a journey that crosses Catalonia from south to north before slowly turning back eastwards. A route linking open roads, vast Pyrenean valleys, damp forests and reservoirs that constantly emerge beneath the mountains. Two routes sharing the same beginning and spirit, yet interpreting the landscape differently as the kilometres unfold. This is not a route designed simply to accumulate distance, but one intended to move through landscapes with a strong sense of identity, where each section changes the rhythm, the light and the way the road is ridden.

From the dry lands of the south to the humid relief of Montseny, the route shifts continuously between rock, water and forest, passing through territories that feel entirely distinct from one another: the roads of Priorat and Terra Alta, the vast horizons of Pallars and Alta Ribagorça, the inland reservoirs of the Pre-Pyrenees, and the dense mountains of Berguedà, Ripollès and Les Guilleries.

Terres de l’Ebre and Ponent. Heading inland

Kromvojoj leaves Baix Camp behind, quickly reaching Priorat and the roads that follow the course of the Ebro before turning inland towards central Catalonia. Terra Alta introduces a landscape shaped by wind, vineyards and wide horizons, where fatigue begins long before the mountains arrive.

As the route advances westwards, the terrain becomes harsher and more isolated until reaching Àger and Montsec, where the scale changes entirely: rock faces, gorges and narrow roads that demand constant negotiation with the terrain. Between canyons, bridges and roads suspended above inland reservoirs, the route slowly begins to approach the Pyrenees.

Coll d’Ares, CP1 of the Redux route, marks the true gateway into the Pre-Pyrenees and the point where both distances begin to interpret the mountains in different ways.

Alt Pirineu. The great crossing

The heart of this edition lies within the roads of Pallars, Alta Ribagorça and the inland mountains of Solsonès. The long route reaches Boí Taüll, CP1 of the full distance, before heading towards the openness and high mountain terrain of Bonaigua, while the Redux route finds its character in the relentless folds of Bóixols and Comiols.

Different roads, same feeling: entering territories where progress comes slowly. The waters of Pantà de Sant Antoni, the narrow reservoirs around Oliana and the long Pyrenean valleys accompany a route where the mountains never appear in isolation, but are constantly tied to rivers, gorges and roads carved into the terrain itself.

These are long, changing and deeply scenic roads where speed becomes secondary and the journey is measured instead in hours spent in the mountains. Here the Pyrenees represent the highest point of the route, both in altitude and in difficulty.

Central Catalonia and the eastern Prepirineu. Turning east

After the severity of the north, the route gradually turns east through Berguedà and Ripollès. The light changes, the vegetation changes, and so does the rhythm of riding.

The roads of Catllaràs and Serra Cavallera, where the long route reaches Coll de Burgarès as CP2, introduce a greener and wetter mountain landscape, with endless climbs and deep valleys where fatigue begins to weigh heavier than elevation gain itself. The road once again reconnects with large bodies of water at La Llosa del Cavall and La Baells, now far removed from the mineral landscapes of the west.

Forest becomes increasingly dominant, the mountains close in, and the route enters a wetter, denser Catalonia where the terrain never gives away speed and every valley seems to lead slowly towards Montseny.

Les Guilleries and Montseny. The final refuge

By the time the route reaches Susqueda, the accumulated distance is already felt deep in the legs. A dark and silent landscape introduces the final long ascent towards Turó de l’Home, CP2 of the Redux route and CP3 of the long route, beneath the constant presence of Les Agudes and Matagalls.

This is a different kind of mountain from the Pyrenees: less open, more intimate and far closer. A place where the objective is no longer to attack or chase speed, but simply to endure and keep moving forwards.

Even then, the return towards Baix Camp still remains, across broken terrain that demands concentration right through to the final kilometre.
