Riders on rental Cervélo bikes on a quiet road near Girona

Girona is one of Europe's great cycling bases, and many riders arrive without their own bike. Renting is easy, but prices, bikes and conditions vary a lot from shop to shop. Here is what bike rental in Girona costs in 2026, which bike to choose and the questions worth asking before you book. 🚴

Riders from the UK usually call it bike hire. Whatever you search for, bike hire in Girona at Hotel Vall Amagada del Molí starts from €55 a day on a carbon Cervélo with SRAM AXS.

How much does bike rental in Girona cost?

Road and gravel bike rental in Girona generally costs between €50 and €120 a day, depending on the bike. Premium shops in the city start at around €70 a day, and longer rentals are usually cheaper per day.

Cervélo rental prices at Hotel Vall Amagada del Molí

Hotel Vall Amagada del Molí has a fleet of 22 Cervélo road and gravel bikes, all full carbon with SRAM AXS electronic shifting. The price per day drops the longer you ride:

  • Cervélo Caledonia (endurance road): €65 on day 1, €60 a day on days 2 and 3, €55 a day from day 4

Which bike should you rent?

Cervélo Caledonia: long days in comfort

An endurance road bike with a full carbon frame, SRAM Rival AXS and Vision wheels. Stable, forgiving geometry and wide gearing make it the easiest choice for most visitors, and the bike that still feels good on the fourth day in a row.

Cervélo Soloist: fast riders and climbers

A road racing bike with SRAM Force AXS and Reserve carbon wheels, sitting between Cervélo's aero S5 and lightweight R5. For riders who want one bike that is quick on the flat and lively on the climbs.

Cervélo Áspero: gravel and mixed rides

A carbon gravel bike with SRAM XPLR AXS and Reserve carbon wheels. Fast enough for tarmac and capable on every gravel track in the Llémena valley and the Garrotxa.

Not sure? Most first time visitors to Girona are happiest on the Caledonia. If you want to explore the gravel tracks, take the Áspero.

Five things to check before you rent a bike in Girona

Riders on cycling forums ask the same questions again and again. These are the ones worth checking before you book:

  • Pedals, helmet and shoes: most shops rent them separately, so bring your own pedals and shoes or book them with the bike.

  • Return times and late fees: in the city, bikes often have to be back by a fixed time on the last day, with a fee if you are late.

  • Overnight storage and theft: many shops do not supply a lock and hold you responsible if the bike is stolen, so know where the bike will sleep.

  • Queues at pick up: popular shops can have a queue at opening time in spring.

  • Book ahead: in peak season good bikes go fast, so book at least two weeks in advance.

Where to ride first

Girona's quiet roads start right at the hotel door. A good first ride is the 43 km loop of one of the hotel's founders, Karel: it climbs La Barroca, 5 km at 4% on average with short ramps of up to 15%, stops for coffee at AgroForn Vilanna and rolls home through the Llémena valley.

Want more? The Les Encies loop (57 km, 710 m of climbing) is the most popular route near the hotel on Komoot, and the famous Rocacorba climb waits for the strongest legs. Read the Rocacorba climb guide (in Spanish) or join a guided or group ride.

Can you ride in Girona in winter?

Yes. December afternoons average around 13.6°C, the trails are usually dry again after the autumn rain and many professionals train here all winter. Ride in the middle of the day and pack arm and leg warmers. Over the holidays the hotel adds a Boxing Day group ride to its Christmas package.

Why ride in Girona?

The team at Hotel Vall Amagada del Molí rides these roads every week, and the verdict is simple: nowhere else in Europe has this density of cycling. 🚴

  • Cycling culture everywhere: bike shops, cycling fashion brands, the latest bikes, cafés full of riders and pros training on the same roads as you.

  • Drivers who respect cyclists: Spanish law requires drivers to leave at least 1.5 metres when passing a cyclist, and they may cross the solid line to do so. Around Girona most drivers go further and give riders space and patience as a matter of course.

  • Group rides every day: from fast training loops to social coffee rides, there is always a group to join, including the hotel's own social group rides.

  • A great vibe for cyclists: riding is part of daily life here, and cyclists are welcome at every café, restaurant and village square.

  • Quiet back roads with smooth asphalt: hundreds of kilometres of empty country roads through villages, forests and volcanic landscape.

  • The right weather: for most of the year it is never too hot and never too cold to ride.
