Who this fits

With friends Adventure Ecotourism History

This trip is for you if: you have an intermediate mountain biking level (you’ve done routes of 25-30 km on technical trails), you can handle three consecutive days in the saddle, and you’re looking for an active trip without sacrificing a good night's sleep. We travel in small groups (2-8 people) and with friends who already know each other from riding.

This trip is not for you if: it’s your first serious mountain biking route, you don't feel confident with technical descents, or you prefer a more leisurely pace with shorter stages. For beginners, we recommend the half-day routes in the valley.

Frequently asked

Got a question not listed here? Just ask.

Is bike rental included?

No serial number, but the provider can manage high-end MTB or e-MTB rentals. Ask when booking.

What happens if one day I can’t complete the stage?

The 4x4 support vehicle with trailer is designed precisely for that. It picks you up with your bike at the point you decide and takes you to the accommodation.

Is it necessary to come with a pre-formed group?

No, but it works better. Departures are in small groups (2-8) and the pace is adjusted. If you come alone or as a couple, you join the weekend group.

When does it take place?

Spring and autumn are the best windows of opportunity. In summer there are early departures to avoid the heat; in winter it depends on the snow at higher elevations.

How do you book?

Contact us indicating dates and group level. We confirm availability with the provider and finalize details (accommodation, bike rental if needed).
