Overview

MTB CYCLING WITH THE SEA AS A BACKDROP AND A VARIETY OF ENDURO TRAILS DOWN THE MOUNTAINS. We meet the sea, the light and pleasant temperatures when we go in October or start the season with a dip in the sea in April. The coastal towns lie like a string of pearls around the island's coast and the soft mountains give the island its slightly wild character. On Elba, mines have been dug in mineral-rich mines, vines and olives have been cultivated in the beautiful Mediterranean climate that characterises the island. Isola del Elba is a mini-Tuscany with the sea's specialities such as grilled fish and seafood in good combination with wine and olive oil production. The cycling on Elba is magical and well known by Enduro fans all over the world. The trails are mostly hiking trails both up and down, gravel roads that meander along the sea and the old mining area around Capoliveri is a well-known international competition venue. It is stony and technical with daily new challenges that are constantly surrounded by the sea - it is magical to cycle on Isola del Elba. The trip includes 7 nights, shared in two- or three-bed rooms, hotel, B&B, breakfast, lunch & dinner with drinks according to the program, transfer & ferry ticket from AND to the airport / Pisa - see time schedule, Shuttle service & local MTB guides (max 4-5 guests/guide), rental bike E-MTB, excursion & good visits, laundry service, world's best cycling coffee and a fly to Pisa at the latest at 12.00, return from Pisa any time on day 8.
