Family Biking Adventures with Leitzaran Bisitarien Etxea in Andoain

Situated in the heart of Euskadi, the Leizaran valley near Andoain is a corridor of verdant woodlands and old railway passages transformed into the Plazaola Greenway. Leitzaran Bisitarien Etxea offers a standout family cycling experience here, guided by attentive staff and facilitated by a fleet of well-maintained rental bikes—including electric models that ease the climbs for riders of all ages. This trip through the greenway reveals a journey rich in local heritage, venturing through a series of tunnels carved through solid rock and along a river that has sculpted the valley for millennia.

The path itself follows the Plazaola Railway route, a defunct line once vital for regional commerce and transportation, now reborn as a safe and scenic route. Its gentle gradients and paved surface make it remarkably accessible and ideal for children, earning the "S • BTT Infantil" label from Leitzaran Bisitarien Etxea. As riders pass beneath the canopy of ancient forests, they might spot native species such as the European roe deer or hear the distant call of woodpeckers. The lush surroundings are defined by the green oaks and beeches that thrive in this humid, temperate climate.

Leitzaran Bisitarien Etxea’s commitment to quality service transforms this outing into more than a bike ride; it is an invitation to connect with a lesser-known slice of Basque nature while learning about its historical infrastructure. The combination of family-friendly trail, accessible electric bikes, and staff ready to assist ensures an adventure that’s welcoming, educational, and memorable. For families seeking an active day out that balances physical activity with cultural discovery, this is an essential destination within the Basque Country’s rich outdoor recreation scene.
