FAQs: Mountain Biking

What should I know about Mountain Biking ?

Mountain biking is a dynamic sport that requires a good physical shape, a sense of adventure and perseverance to improve your technique and surpass the (many) obstacles along the way. There are different types of mountain biking, including cross-country cycling, all mountain, Enduro, downhill biking and trail mountain biking. How to know what’s best for you? Well, it will depend on how you enjoy high speed descents or whether you prefer to ride for pleasure or as a competitive activity. There’s a lot to explore in the MTB world! Going with a mountain guide can be extremely helpful is terms of logistics, safety and navigating on an unknown location.

Why should I choose Mountain Biking for my outdoor adventure?

**Endless trails around the world **

Mountain biking is a unique way of exploring the outdoors. From meandering trails on muddy terrain to fat-biking on snowy paths, there are trails to suit all difficulty levels and skills. For those who are just getting started, joining a guide is highly recommended.

Complete body workout

If you are looking for an outdoor activity that leaves you both exhausted and happy, mountain biking may be your perfect choice! It’s not just the leg-burning or cardio exercise: mountain biking provides a full body workout. Besides, it’s mentally relaxing, helps to reduce stress and improves your coordination, balance, stability and strength.

**Never stop learning **

Those who embrace mountain biking see the world as an infinite playground full of obstacles to pursue and new adventures to be lived. Forest trails, singletracks, fire roads and all sorts of natural features (logs, water crossings, steep ascents and adrenaline-pumping downhill descents) are chances to improve your technique and challenge yourself.

Jure arranged for his fellow guide, Julio, to take us on a tour in the Kranjska Gora area. The only guidance we gave them was that we wanted a reasonably challenging, 3-5-hour ride with views. We were initially a little apprehensive when Jure suggested the Vrsic Pass but by all accounts, it's a stunning bucket list ride and we didn't want to pass up the opportunity. After outfitting us with some excellent equipment (I'm not an experienced mountain biker but my partner, who is, was very impressed with the bikes), Julio suggested we ride 6km up the pass, then follow some dirt trails back down. What a ride! Yes, the uphill part - we did 18 of the switchbacks - was hard, but do-able. Some of the downhill trails were tricky but we were able to explore parts of the valley that we'd surely have missed, had we tried to do a ride on our own. I particularly appreciated Julio's expertise and easy-going attitude; his company added to the whole experience. And the views... simply incredible! I highly recommend this guide will add that we also enjoyed a wonderful stay in Jure's Hotel Berghi. Thank you, Jure and Julio!

It was a fantastic experience : good weather, sakura, the mountains and a great guide. Not a tour for sports fanatics but for people interested in nature, culture and ...wasabi. The guide took us by amazing smal paths, temples, springtime flowers and trees and as highlight : the wasabi farm where he invited us at marvelous green tea. Enjoy!

Absolutely excellent trip! Guide Cata was spectacular at assessing our skill level and picking the perfect trail. We would love to travel again with him. The trails around Cluj are great for MTB. I was less impressed with the ExploreShare interface. It was clunky to use and I wasn’t sure if messages were getting through. I did manage to find an excellent guide and experience, so I guess it all worked.

We did a route on e-bikes and Andrés was our guide. It was so much fun, totally recommended for all levels! He showed us a sequoias forest, beautiful viewpoints, we did geocaching, went to an old mine, and even to a small cave. Andres loves nature and helps you appreciate every detail. For sure we'll do something else with him, he even recommended a great place for dinner, and reserved a spot for us. Thanks for all! 10/10

A perfect day with canoes during the morning, and e-biking in the afternoon, following Andres' routes. The equipment was first-class, and all our questions were answered on time. The weather was great, the views amazing, and we ended having dinner in a restaurant that had an unforgettable fabada. 100% recommended, and I hope I can go back soon!
