From September to June you should turn your back on the cold and rainy northern Europe. On the Spanish Costa Blanca the temperatures are perfect this time of the year to take part in our trail camp and soak up some sun on dust-dry downhill trails.
Biking in Wild West scenery! The endless variety of trails west of Alicante will put a broad grin on the face of every mountain biker. On the 5 bike days we shuttle you into the trail area.
We set up our trail camp at an altitude of 350 meters in between countless single trails. From here you have a fantastic view of the surrounding mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. The dust-dry, barren landscape with its steep sloping mountains resembles a Wild West background.
On 3 days we ride numerous trails around the trail camp. Partly flowy, partly rough and stoney, the descents offer plenty of downhill fun over many kilometres – pure enduro riding fun! After each descent we return to the camp, so that we only have the most necessary luggage with us when biking. A short drink break, maybe a small snack and on it goes.
On 2 days we explore the surrounding area by mountain bike. From the camp we pedal inland. The routes lead us through impressive landscapes, which are scattered with gravel slopes and fantastic trails. On the tours we cover about 50 km and 900 hm per day.
A good control of your bike and basic condition are required for the Trail Camp Alicante. The trails are level S1–S3. We usually cover between 40 and 50 km and with 800–1,000 meters of altitude gain. We bike in a group size of 4–6 people with different levels.
The boutique Hotel Ritual de Terra**** in Jávea offers everything you need for a relaxing feel-good holiday. It is very quiet and idyllic, so that you can wind down in a Mediterranean atmosphere and enjoy your holiday from the first moment.
