Since 2017, the BUFF® Epic Trail is part of the BUFF® Mountain Festival, which offers a wealth of activities for the whole family: adventure sports, mountain bike competitions, children’s workshops, concerts and lots more. All in the same location, Barruera, in the Valley of Boí. It’s not all about running!
