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.
- Andorra: Hike, Bike & Raft
Such an amazing experience! Some highlights: • Our guide, Antoine was phenomenal! He is very experienced, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Best guide ever. • The hotel was perfectly located, the food was amazing, and the family was very nice. • Andorra is a MUST see place with picturesque lakes, mountains, and streams. • Each day is perfectly laid out with plenty of time to push yourself on the expeditions then relax at the hotel. A few recommendations: • If you are not physically fit, I would not recommend this trip. • If you are VERY physically fit or looking for a big challenge I might also look at other trips. I would say this is perfect for the average person looking to be physically pushed. • If you are an avid Mountain biker, I would say this is not the trip for you. The mountain biking is not "mountain biking" it is "off-road" as the description says. Overall I would say this is an amazing trip because you get (physically) what you want out of it and you get to spend your time in one of the most beautiful places!

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.

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.
