Just premiered, the latest video in Orbea’s Trail Tales series heads to the Pyrenees for an ode to the trails we love to ride and the people who maintain them. Watch “The Call of the High Ways” here…

The Call of the High Ways is a masterfully shot and edited eight-minute video from Orbea that paints an intimate picture of a group of passionate mountain bikers in the Pyrenees and shares some of the history and cultural significance of the trails they work to maintain and protect.

From Orbea: “The Pyrenees mountains are crossed and crossed with ancient high ways; a network of paths painstakingly cut into the high mountains by generations long gone to support a way of life that is, sadly, also gone. As the rural populations relocated to urban areas, many old trails lost their purposes, and when a trail loses its reason for existing, it very quickly becomes lost itself. And so we start our story with a network of high trails, unused, all but lost, but not forgotten, simply waiting for a new purpose.”
