Croatia: Istria From Green To Blue
“Experience the full glory of Istria in green and blue on this rejuvenating mountain bike tour Croatia. Heavily-scented pine forests. Medieval hilltop villages. Quiet coastal singletrack. Your senses will be awakened as we pedal off-the-beaten track, from swooping wooded singletrack to the rocky moonscape of the Istrian islands, in the turquoise waters of the Adriatic. As you journey from mountain to coast you’ll see a change, not only in landscapes, but also in cuisine. Truffles, meat and cheese make way for the freshest seafood dishes, straight from the boat – all accompanied by fine local wines!”
Monumental Italian Dolomites
“Imagine a collision of the peaks of Torres del Paine and the lush meadows of the Alps: that’s the Dolomites. These monumental mountains have attracted climbers for hundreds of years. Now, thanks to the hard work of local riders, mountain bikers are also gravitating to these impressive peaks. Your local guide for this adventure is not only a professional MTB guide, but also a local hero who can be found building trails, and in winter skiing some of the toughest routes in the Dolomites. He’ll take you on his version of the Sella Ronda: 110 km of trails with 7000m of descent, characterizing this unforgettable mountain biking experience in the Dolomites.”
High and Dry in Andalucía eMTB
“Get ready for a full immersion into the Andalucían way of life! Circumnavigating the Sierra Nevada of Spain you’ll climb high to the whitewashed villages of the Alpujarra mountains. Descend on rocky, ancient mule tracks, baked hard by the Spanish sun. Pedal through the desert ‘Badlands’ and stay in caves. Every day will be punctuated with excellent local food and drink, and your guide will crown your adventure by street riding through Old Town Granada and a locals’ tapas tour.”
Coast-To-Coast in Scotland
“Our epic coast-to-coast Scotland mountain bike tour is the culmination of years of research and riding to find the ultimate coast-to-coast Scotland adventure. Riding from A to B every day, crossing rivers, and carrying your bike through some of the most remote and rugged terrain you’ll ever have experienced, this is a real adventure and a challenge. But the sense of achievement as you roll into Applecross at the end of this week is something you’ll remember forever.”
