MTB Centers, implemented in Portugal for the first time by Aldeias do Xisto, are permanent sports infrastructures, consisting of networks of trails for the practice of mountain biking and reception areas with equipment dedicated exclusively to leisure MTB practitioners. These places are equipped with parking, changing rooms, service station for bicycles (washing, air and mini-workshop) on a self-service basis. The Centers offer CrossCountry, DownHill or FreeRide trails, with specific markings, adopted internationally, with four levels of difficulty (green, blue, red and black) suitable for all types of users, from those who want to start up to the most demanding. Currently, 50 routes are avalailable and more than 1500 km. 

From this centre, there are four routes at your disposal with increasing levels of difficulty, and a fifth, long distance route connecting to the trails of Gondramaz and Lousã, which always return to Ferraria de São João.

This Centre has a mountain bike support shed with a service and wash station (0.50 euro or 1 euro coins), air and a self-service mini workshop available 24-hours a day. There are also toilets and hot showers (50 cent coins) available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
