Stage 2 of the 19th Volta Menorca BTT

The longest stage of the three-day event starts and finishes in Es Castell, blending Menorca’s inland trails with breathtaking coastal landscapes.

The route begins by winding through rural paths, passing villages and archaeological sites, including a technical section revisited this year in the Volta Menorca BTT. After this initial challenge, riders will reach the refreshment stop at Cala en Porter to refuel.

The second half of the stage is pure magic: coastal trails, a never-before-ridden ravine restored for the race, and iconic stretches of the Camí de Cavalls, leading riders back to Es Castell with unforgettable views.

Due to the nature of the route, two cut-off points have been set: km 26 and km 57.

Stage 3 - Final Challenge of the 19th Volta Menorca BTT

The ultimate stage, starting and finishing in Ciutadella, will likely be the toughest of the three, pushing all riders (including guides) to their limits.

The route begins along Menorca's inland trails, revisiting the legendary Barranc d'Algendar. After crossing Ferreries, the Castell de Santa Àgueda delivers a punishing climb that will test every rider's legs. Once conquered, cyclists can refuel at the refreshment station.

The second half holds a surprise: exclusive access through a private estate, debuting a never-before-ridden path into Menorca's rugged northern coast. This already technical and demanding terrain will lead riders back to Ciutadella for a triumphant finale.

Cut-off point: km 42.
