What people love about Mountain Bike Tours in Europe
- Bruges (Brugge) to Paris, Bike & Barge in Belgium and France
The food was fantastic. Our Captain did a wonderful job. The first mate was ready to help in every way. The guide was good but since he had not led this route previously had to hunt for the best route for us. This sometimes meant poor dirt paths. The barge was not as nice as some I have been on.
- Bruges to Amsterdam, Bike & Barge in Belgium and Holland
Great trip with wonderful biking and an outstanding guide. Excellent and abundant food. Scenic and interesting destinations. Loved being on the barge.
- Bike From Alps To Adriatic - Mountain Biking Trans Slovenia
Firstly, was totally blown away with Slovenia, the people and the amazing beautiful country. Had no idea we were going to experience such a stunning landscape. The pre-tour communication was excellent, especially considering it was a last minute decision and we gave very little notice. Our briefing meeting was with Matteo who delivered our bikes, tour notes and all accessories ie GPS etc. Bikes were new and adequate and we felt comfortable after our day one ‘test run’, we were going to be fine for the week. Accomodation was excellent, luggage portage was efficient, but the riding was tough! Admittedly, this is a MTBing tour and we would expect to have big climbs and some rough terrain. However it was described as “moderate” and I am not sure by whose standard that is, and the hardtail bikes with ‘touring’ tyres were not the best for some of what we were expected to do. The only other feedback is that the loaded daily GPS route on the App was loaded from an original trip and did not finish and end where our accomodation was. Imagine our dismay when we got to our destination on Day 2, only then to realise we were still 6kms from our accomodation with 280m of climbing. I recommend the routes get updated, or at least make a note of adjustments. But, comments and feedback are genuinely only given to hopefully help make this better, because all-in-all we did love it, and will definitely be returning to Slovenia to do some more cycling (or hiking, or skiing!!)
What our customers ask about Mountain Bike Tours & Trips in Europe
When is the best time to go on a Mountain Bike tour in Europe?
The most reliable time for Mountain Bike tours in Europe spans May through September when trails are dry and temperatures mild. The Loire Valley is particularly good in May and June with temperatures around 20°C (68°F) and clear trails around the historic châteaux of Villandry and Chenonceaux. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The weather in September was perfect for biking through the Loire Valley - not too hot and the trails were in great condition." The high-altitude routes in the Pyrenees open up from June to September after the snow melts while southern routes through Andalusia remain accessible throughout the year.
What are the must-see highlights of a Mountain Bike tour in Europe?
European bike routes connect world heritage sites castles and notable landscapes. Riders on the Upper Middle Rhine Valley route pass the Loreley Rock and medieval fortresses. The Moselle route takes cyclists past Europe's steepest vineyard at Calmont. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Cycling through the Rheingau region was incredible especially visiting the Residence Palace in Würzburg and the ancient Roman ruins in Trier."
What type of accommodation can I expect on a European Mountain Bike tour?
The typical lodging includes 3-4 star hotels and local guesthouses equipped for cyclists' needs. Specific examples include the Parkhotel St. Leonhard in Überlingen with Lake Constance views and bike storage and the Hotel Villa Vinum in Cochem set in a heritage building. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The accommodations were consistently excellent especially the Romantik Hotel zur Schwane in Volkach which offered perfect comfort after a day of cycling."
What's the average daily cycling distance on European Mountain Bike tours?
Cyclists cover between 25-65 kilometers (15-40 miles) per day based on the route difficulty. The Moselle River route averages 45-50 km daily while the Lake Constance circuit involves 30-40 km rides. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The daily distances along the Main River were perfect allowing plenty of time to explore charming towns like Miltenberg and Aschaffenburg."
What fitness level is required for a Mountain Bike tour in Europe?
European Mountain Bike tours need moderate to good fitness with daily elevation gains of 500-700m. The Soča Valley tours in Slovenia mix van support with riding covering 40-60% of routes while Sicilian stages average 50-60km daily across varied terrain. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Be prepared for some challenging climbs but the e-bike option in Sicily made the hills manageable while still getting a good workout." Most tours offer regular bikes and e-bikes to suit different abilities.
How many hours of biking can I expect per day on European Mountain Bike tours?
Most tours involve 4-6 hours of riding covering 30-60km daily. Slovenia's Soča Valley tours feature 3-4 hour morning rides with optional afternoon sessions. Norwegian routes include full-day rides with stops at viewpoints and cultural sites. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The pacing in Sicily was perfect with morning rides leaving plenty of time to explore villages and enjoy local culture."
