What people love about Mountain Bike Tours in Europe
- Bruges to Amsterdam, Bike & Barge in Belgium and Holland
Excellent itinerary and very interesting. worth trying.
Marco was a brilliant Tour Guide very informative very knowledgeable extremely friendly. He made the trip worthwhile. The trip itself was a beautiful combination of fascinating walks sometimes hard sometimes easy but overall over the seven days is a lovely combination of hard days and easy days. And on top of all that Marco somehow organised the best weather for the whole seven days. I thoroughly recommend this tour for anyone.
Cinque Terre: Hike, Bike & Kayak
I did not know much about Andorra before this trip. I expected some nice days in the mountains, but this trp was much more. Already the last part of the transfer from Toulouse was very scenic. Our hotel Roc de St Miquel was located high in the mountains and offered stunning views - and thankfully it was not as hot as in the lowlands there. Also positive that the hotel was our base for the whole week, so we had not pack/unpack the whole time. The rooms there were better than I expected for a two star hotel. Excellent room keeping every day, clean and good beds. The owners of the hotels were our guides at the same time - and also they were excellent. We felt very welcome from the beginning and often sat around the chimney at night. We got usually breakfast and dinner at the hotel - and we never went to bed hungry. Packed lunch was available on order. Our days tours started not before 9:30, so no alarm clock was needed. The tours were no problem for people with normal fitness - even if the hikes included some steep passages. For me rafting was the most scary part, but also much fun. The seven days went by very quickly, which is perhaps the best compliment I can make. All of us were sad to leave, but we made all new friends and will probably return (in my case for more hiking in the wonderful mountain scenery).

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."
