Guided Bike Rides and Mountain Bike Rentals in Sierra Nevada

Context Sierra Nevada in Andalusia is a protected natural area offering high-altitude terrain with elevations ranging from 1,500 to 2,100 meters. Its pine forests and traditional villages of the Granada Alpujarra create a landscape where the wind carries the scent of thyme and the air is crisp and clean. The absence of fixed signage along the trails requires the use of GPS, adding a navigational challenge and an element of adventure.

The Experience You’ll ride on forest trails and dirt paths, navigating moderate to steep elevation gains across varied terrain including compact earth, rocky sections, and uneven surfaces that test your riding skills. Birdsong accompanies the journey as you visit villages such as Mairena and Laroles, where the group stops to learn about local traditions and enjoy regional cuisine. The ride concludes with a return to the starting point after 3 to 5 hours of active exploration.

For Whom This activity is ideal for cyclists with moderate to advanced experience and good physical fitness, aged 6 and over with adult supervision. It is not suitable for beginners without prior training, nor for individuals with limited endurance or balance issues.

Local Context The villages of the Granada Alpujarra preserve ancient traditions and a cuisine rooted in local ingredients. Residents continue practices like transhumance and maintain a mountain-based lifestyle that shapes their hospitality and cultural expressions, offering authentic insights during stops.
