La Palma (Canary island)

The best riding spot you’ve never heard of all year around

With 702m2 and 2428m high La Palma is the third steepest island in the world full of different microclimates with a huge natural trail network around the island where the bikers find an Awesome variety of terrain and landscapes 

"The vast variety of trails is truly mind-blowing"

Just Imagine riding down a unique volcanic trail or cruising down the jungle on an epic flowy trail on the same day. Without comparison, is the warmest place to be in Europe during the winter months.

There´s hardly a place in La Palma we haven´t ridden, guided, recced or mapped - let us take care of the details so you can get out and ride somewhere new without the hassle of navigation, what to do when the conditions go awry or if you just want to take away the pressure of not knowing how good a trail is going to be.

"Our passion and knowledge about La Palma make a difference."

This project started with two local friends that since a long time ago have been strongly active in the local mountain bike events. La Palma has been our playground since we were born, we´ve been discovering new trails over the years and we decided in 2016 to share our trails and our passion with the rest of the world creating Flow Trails La Palma.

A small but dedicated team.
Good things come in small packages, right? Well, we’d like to think so. We’re not the biggest team in the world but what we lack in size we believe we make up for in quality service. The team consists of dedicated and experienced local riders who were born and have extensive knowledge of La Palma. They know all the best trails to ride and are helpful, friendly, and professional. Above all, they are fun.

"Rodrigo" -We love this way of life, It is a true passion where Riders feel like at a friend’s home."It is really awesome to grow up in one of the best places to ride in Europe and share my passion with riders all over the world.

Special report: Enduro in La Palma link

More variety, is impossible
If I had to summarize in three words what enduro is like in La Palma I would say that it is varied, very fun and above all different. The Refugio del Pilar area is one of the most important areas of the island, in its upper part many of the best trails start, such as Faya, the volcano route or Niquiomo. There we enjoyed like children with the explosive combination of flow and rock in its 7 lines of approximately 7 km in length and more than 1,200 m of elevation gain. knowing the best descents, mastering the island's meteorology, guiding the riders, offering lift service, providing mechanical coverage, etc. It's not simple. In the summer of 2017, Flow Trails La Palma was born, a store specialized in enduro, which also offers bike rental, sale of equipment, ski lift and guide service, and organization of events and races
