Mountain Biking in Sardinia, Italy

Push your bike skills and fitness on the vast network of mountain bike trails, then enjoy warm hospitality and delicious cuisine.

The beautiful island of Sardinia doesn't appear on most people's 'must visit' list of potential mountain biking destinations and yet the island has so much to offer.

A dense network of perfect mountain bike trails, great weather, stunning scenery and fantastic food are just some of the highlights.

This trip visits the historic south-west corner of the island - home to a vast area of cork and ilex forest and dotted with ancient mines that once provided work for thousands of local people. During the course of the week you'll get to ride some of the best mountain bike trails on the island - everything from flowing woodland singletrack to ancient Roman supply roads and scenic coastal jeep trails.

There's plenty of climbing and descending during the week, so you're sure to go home with your fitness and skills level raised a couple of notches. With the addition of a warm welcome, great accommodation and stunning scenery, it won't be long until Sardinian singletrack is on everyone's trail radar.
