Basque MTB can offer plenty of holiday activities as an alternative to Mountain biking.

Wine Tours
Now we’re talking! The rioja region is about an hour and a half away and the wine is fantastic. A day out wine tasting is a great way to see some different scenery and taste some fantastic wines as well. I should point out that you don’t have to spit it back out either! The next day we can ride away your hangover with some of our refreshing coastal singletrack! We can also offer a day’s mountain biking, close to the wineyards, followed with a wine tasting session. Speak to us before your holiday and we would be delighted to organise this for you.

Climbing
Climbing has a long tradition in the Basque Country and the area has produced some of the best climbers in the world. The sea cliffs, Pyrenees and Basque mountains offer many places to climb, catering for a wide range of abilities. Near to our base, there is a good bolted limestone single pitch crag and also some fantastic bouldering. We can point you in the right direction for these climbs but you would have to bring the climbing gear with you.

Paragliding
If after climbing to the top of Larun you feel that you’d like to go higher still then we can organise paragliding days with one of the local schools. Apparently it is a fantastic experience to climb high into the clear air and see the mountainous Basque country laid out before you. I say apparently because, like B.A., “I don’t go in no planes”. We are more than happy to organise a day or evening paragliding for anyone with a less healthily developed sense of fear though.

Horse Riding
There are herds of wild horses roaming the hills here, however I doubt that they would take kindly to a rider. We can organise horse riding on tamer steeds though and let you see the spectacular hills without the need to pedal.

Quad Riding
Another option for those who want to see more of the hills and get a bit more adrenaline but have had enough biking.

Paintball
There are a couple of paintball sites around here so if you fancy donning your camoflage gear and taking your aggression out on something other than the trail we’ll be happy to oranise this for you.
