The beauty of Europe is in its diverse cultures and landscapes, both of which reflect directly in the mountain biking that each individual country offers up. H+I Adventures started out from a northern corner of Scotland, but our love for experiencing new cultures soon had us venturing further afield, both within and outside of Europe.
We now have 13 MTB and E-MTB tours across 5 countries in Europe (plus 4 in Scotland!), all wonderfully unique and crafted to cater for a wide range of abilities. From the high Alpine backcountry of Switzerland, to the dry and dusty Sierra Nevada where you can gorge yourself silly on tapas.
We’ve rounded up all of our European mountain bike tours in one place so you can discover why we’ve carefully handpicked these destinations:
Two wheels are the perfect way of exploring the green and blue of the beautiful Istria region in the north of the country. You’ll spin through fortified hilltop villages onto rolling wooden singletrack before hugging the inviting turquoise waters of the Adriatic, on your way to the islands of Krk and Rab.
The latest addition to our European menu, our E-MTB tour in Tuscany is a slice of the good life. A spectacular, week-long adventure riding on coastal and island singletrack, and indulging in the most fabulous food + wine, and generous hospitality that this region of Italy has to offer.
This is an area where past and present work in harmony. Your Tuscan home-from-home is an 18th-century agriturismo, set amongst olive groves and with its own private pool. And the technology provided by your e-mountain bike will ensure that you get to experience the very best trails in Tuscany.
We know our home turf quite literally like the back of our hands. This has allowed us to craft four very different tours from the long, enduring, but hugely rewarding coast-to-coast, to cherry picking the best trails on our Highland Odyssey adventure, and the slightly tamer but no less beautiful rolling hills in the Cairngorms National Park on our Ancient Pines & Wild Glens tour, and a bonus, 4-day adventure exploring the isles of Skye and Raasay. Each has a different flavour and demands a different ability, all in the rugged Scottish Highlands.
Perhaps THE most European mountain bike adventure of all, given you’ll drop into not only Slovenia, but Italy and Austria for good measure! Taking in both the Julian Alps and stunning Adriatic coastline you’ll discover that this densely forested and water-rich country throw up some amazing terrain to ride mountain bikes in.
The south of Spain could well have some of the tastiest cuisine in the world and its trails are certainly nothing to be sniffed at either. Immersing ourselves into Andalucian life we circumnavigate the Sierra Nevada taking in the sights, smells, tastes, and of course the trails which make this a must-ride destination for any self-respecting mountain biker.
If you love descending (with a little bit of climbing!) then Switzerland could well be the one for you. Thanks to Swiss efficiency and the country’s extensive lift network, we are able to gain monstrous heights without breaking a sweat. There will still be climbing of course… The Graubünden area in the south east of the country is guaranteed to create riding memories that’ll last a lifetime.
Finale Ligure in Italy is synonymous in the mountain bike world thanks to the Enduro World Series. Ride high above the Mediterranean on pristine singletrack, backcountry trails and remote shuttles, to then finish at the beach with a cold beer in hand on this exclusive Trail Riviera experience in Finale Ligure.
