Could my non-biking family or friends come?
Absolutely, We can arrange a week’s itinerary of activities for family or friends or they can pick and choose upon arrival. There are plenty of activities for the non-MTBer such as walking, horse riding, paragliding, sunbathing on the beach.
When are those trips available?
All Year round.
What kind of tech skills? of fitness do I need?
We will customise the week for you accordingly. If you ride regularly, for example every other weekend then you will be fine. We will ride easier trails that, as the week progresses, will increase in severity in relation to your skill. If you are willing to learn we will get you riding very difficult MTB Dreams, roll-ins and rocky sections which will improve your riding exponentially.
Is there any support vehicle?
Yes. We do have a suport vehicle, and f you prefer to start the day fresh we can shuttle you most of the way up.
I feel beginner, is that my trip?
We get regular enquiries from female riders and couples worried about the apparent demanding nature of our trails and that they might be ´too much´ for their skills. This is absolutely not the case and on the contrary with the appropriate coaching, a vast improvement in skills and confidence is what is found. ALL riders are pushed by some of the trails and/or corners here but the vast majority go away having overcome these and leave better mountain bikers.
