Pure Mountains Biking & Guiding

Our mountain bike holidays are for people who enjoy riding trails in magnificent surroundings. We tend towards cross-country biking so you won't need body armour but you will need enthusiasm and a reasonable level of fitness. Our guides are Offroad Training Consultancy qualified (see biographies) and tailor the rides to the experience and fitness level of each group, which is a maximum of eight riders plus guide and full Land Rover support .

Being centre-based, unlike point to point bike holidays, we are never under pressure to get to the next place regardless of weather, punctures, nightfall etc. There is always the option of getting into the Land Rover. Food, drink and spares are carried in the Land Rover, not on your back.

Living here, we know the huge variety of tracks and trails in the Alpujarras. Some are wide and gradually undulating and others are much more technical. Some are on rocky open mountainsides while others are in lush valleys. There are plenty of epic climbs and thrilling descents and, of course, miles of gorgeous singletrack.

The routes we choose depend on the makeup of the group and the weather. With rides spread out over two vertical kilometres there are several microclimates to choose from. Other trail users are a rare sight but our guides will point out interesting birds, beasts, plants and geographical features, should you be interested.

Usually we cycle from the front door but some days there will be a short transfer to let us explore further afield.
