Motorbike Holidays - Off-road - TrailbikeTours


Trails    

The trails we use have all been specifically chosen by us, and is the result of thousands of miles of biking (but it's been good...) Every route has been carefully planned to get the most enjoyable off-road biking, and all amidst exceptional scenery.

Terra Alta tours start from and return to the hotel near L'Ampolla. Here we have trails for all abilities, as there's simply more dirt trails in this area than tarred roads. Starting with flat, dry, clay surfaces with a covering of loose pebbles, it's the best way, we reckon, to get fully in-tune with the KTM 450EXC, 525EXC, 530 EXC-R or Suzuki DR-Z400E. Then onto faster, softer clay tracks, meandering through the fruit trees and woods. A few steeper inclines, with some really loose downhills, and by the end of the first day you'll be set for anything...... The other trails in our Terra Alta tours take us over rugged mountain peaks, through a spectacular natural park, along testing dry river beds, and include days where, if everybody's up for it, way over 200 kilometres of spectacular offroad biking.

Our Trans-Catalonia tour. Trails range from easy, with various different types of terrain, water crossings, to more demanding, steep, rocky trails which will provide a challenge to even the most experienced rider. You will without doubt be astounded (on any of our tours) at not only the quality of the trails, but also that it's possible to ride all day without meeting another vehicle. Knowing the locals though, any you did meet would more than probably give you a wave and a few Catalan words of encouragement. Trails are designed to cover around 200km per day.

Our Spanish Pyrenees tours to the Mediterranean are more of a challenge, primarily because of the far greater distances covered - normally in excess of 200 kilometres per day. The trails are the closest we know to perfection, and the views simply astounding..... Trans-Catalonia tours are different in the respect that it's a tour from Andorra to the Mediterranean coast, so we move to different hotels each night. The trails are more varied than either of the other tours, as we cover more distance between stops. Starting at high-altitude Andorra, trails are more mountainous for the first day, but more resembling our Terra Alta tours closer to the coast.

Trans-Spain tours from Andorra to Portugal will introduce you to a selection of great trails ranging from fast winding tracks up mountain passes and through open meadows, cruising through verdant valleys, manoeuvering deep washouts, following arid sandy tracks across the Monegros Desert, finding our own way through sections of undergrowth, and tricky steep tracks - just a selection of some of the varied terrain that real enduro enthusiasts will appreciate. In 1800 km in 7 days you will experience nearly all types of terrain imaginable....

In our Ural Mountains, Russia tour, the trails really can be whatever you want to ride on. The difference with Russia is that you can ride wherever you want to - because nearly all the trails and land is owned by the state, there are no restrictions on where you can ride. So for example, rather than following the guide on a "normal" trail, you can ride in the fields or alongside the trails. As we say - "if you see a hill, then just go up it!!"
