• How fit do I need to be?

  This tour is suitable for beginner to intermediate riders. Part of the experience includes a basic mountain biking skills session, covering fundamentals to help you feel comfortable and in control on the trail.

  Still, there are plenty of intermediate options as most guests have some prior mountain biking experience and are familiar with basic bike handling. To prepare, we recommend riding your local trails a few times a month—regular practice makes a big difference. Once on the trip, your guide will help fine-tune techniques and offer tips tailored to your riding level.

• What if I’ve never mountain biked before?

  No problem at all. This tour is suitable for beginners, and part of the experience includes a basic mountain biking lesson to help you get comfortable on the bike. If you’re active and open to learning, you’ll be guided through the fundamentals on easy terrain before heading out. Regular riding beforehand helps, but you don’t need prior mountain biking experience to join—your guide will adapt the pace and techniques to the group.

• What’s the difference between the standard and the premium edition?

  Both options follow the same overall itinerary, explore the same riding areas, and are led by a private guide. The core experience is the same—the difference comes down to comfort, privacy, and inclusions.

  • • The Premium edition offers a more relaxed, all-inclusive feel. You’ll stay in upgraded, single-occupancy rooms and enjoy all meals and beverages included, along with two private-chef dinners and a lift pass. Accommodation includes luxury rooms at Koprivna Hotel and private-room stays at the FajnTajm Chalet in the Rychleby Trails area.
    • The Standard edition is a more social and straightforward option. You’ll stay in shared accommodation (two guests per room) at the same properties, with breakfast, snacks, airport transfers, and a private guide included. Lunches, dinners, beverages, and lift passes are not included.
• What do I need to bring?

  Here’s a list of the equipment you need to bring:

  • • Day pack large enough to carry everything you might need throughout the day (around a 25-40L bag)
    • Knee pads, helmet, gloves — optional, can be rented (leave a note at checkout)
    • Water bottle or hydration bladder (2L capacity)
    • Cycling shoes
    • Comfortable cycling clothes 
    • Spare clothes for layering
    • Lightweight insulated jacket
    • Waterproof shell
    • Sunhat
    • Toiletries (sunscreen, hand sanitizer, bug spray, tissues, etc.)
    • Headlamp or flashlight
    • Sunglasses
    • Camera — optional (but recommended)

  Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in. We suggest bringing clothing appropriate for the season. Layers are best and don’t wear jeans.
