What you get on this adventure:
What’s not included:
This Pyrenees MTB tour is best suited for riders with sufficient experience. This means that you’ve been mountain biking consistently for one or more years and have the confidence to ride in every type of terrain as well as in technical trails, including small drops. You are capable of ascending and descending under control on moderately steep singletracks with loose rocks and some roots. You know when to walk a section that might be too difficult. If you’re at an intermediate level, it might be a good idea to train more frequently prior to the trip or even take a class in techniques to help you be better prepared.
Advanced mountain bikers with plenty of experience will also find this tour to have lots of challenges and exciting opportunities. If you’ve been mountain biking for at least five years, if you know how to ride very technical trails, including jumps, drops, and narrow elevated trail sections, and if you can ride confidently with exposure, then this tour is perfect for you.
Please note that this Pyrenees MTB tour is not beginner-friendly, but we’ve got plenty of other mountain biking or cycling tours that might interest you!
