Highlights
- World class mountain bike trails. Hand built by a passionate community for over 30 years, each and every trail is unique and different from one another.
- Bike + gear (helmet, gloves, knee pads) + lunch + guiding + transport is all included, you just need to show up. Full suspension rental bikes, uplifts and full day rides are also possible (contact us with your specific requests)
- A light lunch/picnic stop mid-ride in the mountain is included (sandwich, fruit, pastries, soda and coffee - please advise of food restrictions upfront)
Route Information
- On a typical ride we explore both the north and the south of the mountain. On the north side expect loamy dirt trails deep in the forest, while south is more hardpack with grippy rocks and huge granite boulders!
- The climbs are mostly gentle and we take our time to get to the top so we have energy for the challenging downhills.
- The trails have been hand-built and maintained by the community for more than 30 years and are very natural and feature rocks and steep sections. Some of the trails have drops and jumps, some as natural trail features and others specifically built, but it's (almost) always possible to ride around
- One day is not enough to explore all the trails (not even two days), but we'll make sure to match them to your interests and experience level

- Shuttle assisted/uplifts available for minimum of 3 riders (15€ per rider)

“We did the bike ride to the winery and it was the best day of our entire trip. We have three kids aged 12 to 20 and everyone enjoyed the ride (although the little kids complained they didn’t get any wine). Bruno was the consummate guide; helpful, funny and informative. Can’t recommend highly enough!”
