Mountain Biking

Mountain biking holidays

Enjoy exhilarating natural trails and backcountry adventure as you tackle challenging hills. Or, try a gentle ride round the local area with a coffee stop taking in the local atmosphere and views. With coastal, inland and mountainous routes available, our resorts are ideally located for a varied and action-packed mountain biking holiday. 

At any one of our resorts, you can take a mountain bike out on your own or join one of our popular, free guided mountain biking tours. Like road cycling, we run easy-going, medium and challenging mountain biking tours. Each route is graded according to its physical demands, duration and distance, so you can push yourself just as far as you’d like. 

We have recently added new SCOTT mountain bikes to our fleets for you to use free of charge, as well as helmets, puncture repair kits, pumps, spare inner tubes and tyre levers. Super keen cyclists are more than welcome to bring their own bike to the resort. Your teens are welcome to use our bikes too, as long as they are big enough to use the equipment comfortably and are accompanied by an adult.
