Extreme Mountain Biking Holidays

Mountain biking; adventure, activity and adrenaline

Mountain BikingAnywhere there is beautiful countryside, dramatic mountain landscapes or dense forests, the tracks of mountain bike tyres are never far away. Taking the slow route into the countryside is the finest way to explore the country, taking you to spots not usually found by visitors, and allowing an unrivalled combination of relaxation, activity and adrenaline fuelled adventure. There really is no better way to explore than with a mountain biking holiday.

Family mountain biking holidays are a wonderful option, and there is no need to hurtle down scree slopes on a mountain biking trip! Mountain biking trails lead you far into areas completely inaccessible by car and simply too far from home to walk. After a long day of mountain biking, a cramped hotel room simply cannot supply the freedom needed to completely relax, the flexibility needed to complete the mountain biking trails you came to conquer or even the space needed for your dirty mountain biking gear.

Mountain biking holidays are not entirely about discovery though. Extreme mountain biking holidays are about adrenaline and excitement, and there are countless downhill mountain biking trails throughout the world. Ski resorts are perfect for mountain biking holidays during the summer months, not only due to the fantastic scenery, excellent freeride mountain biking routes and world class infrastructure (including lifts), but also because the summer is the off-peak season for ski resorts, and therefore mountain biking accommodation is offered at hugely reduced rates, leaving you more of your holiday budget to enjoy on your mountain biking holiday.

Downhill mountain biking in Europe is some of the best available, especially in the Alps. The ability to take your own mountain bike and gear is a huge advantage, especially on extreme or freeride mountain biking holidays or if you are travelling to mountain biking training locations abroad. Many airlines, including EasyJet, allow taking mountain bikes on flights, meaning European mountain biking holidays are now fantastically easy to take.
