The Basque Coast mountain bike holiday was our original trip and we have been improving it for the last 12 years. Put simply this part of Spain has everything we need with the Pyrenees, the Basque culture, and Spain’s stunning coastline. The mountain biking is very varied, from big mountain trails in the Pyrenees to stunning singletrack along the Spanish coast, each day we will choose something special to suit you.
Our Basque Coast mountain bike holiday is a fun trip. Each day we use unlimited shuttles to ride the best singletrack, with lots of hand built trails mixed in with fun natural singletrack. There is some climbing but around 80% of the riding is downhill.
The trails on the Basque Coast are a real mixture with plenty of natural Singletrack mixed with lots of hand-built mountain bike trails. Many of which we have made. The level suits good intermediate riders up to the most demanding experts.
A capable trail bike with 140mm of travel or more is the minimum. The guides will be riding 150mm/160mm Enduro bikes. eMTB’s are also fine on this trip.
Departures are very flexible. We can usually get you to San Sebastian in time to get a flight around 10:30am from Bilbao. For early departures please contact us before booking flights.
The Basque Coast mountain bike holiday is based in Doneztebe, a beautiful traditional Basque village around 30 minutes inland from Hondarribia. Doneztebe is surrounded by mountains and of course fantastic mountain biking! Evening meals are included with this package and the quality, and quantity, of the meals are perfect for hungry mountain bikers. This accomodation suits groups, happy with their own social life and not looking to go out eating and drinking at nights.
This trip will run in May, June, July and September. For a detailed schedule please check out our calendar.
Basque MTB is located just outside San Sebastian, in Spain, a perfect location to offer great holidays for those who, for some strange reason, don’t want to throw themselves down mountains all day! While your loved ones risk life and limb mountain biking, you can choose lots of alternative holiday activities, from relaxing on the beach, shopping and being pampered with spa treatments to alternative thrills such as surfing. If you would like to, you can surf in Spain in the morning, have a guided tour of a local vineyard in the afternoon, and then dine in France in the evening.

We had high hopes for our trip and it was even better than expected. The town, the house, the guides, the trails were all awesome. It was great getting to know the other riders and going out for dinner with them in Hondarribia each night. The riding was perfect for our level - challenging but doable. It was fun to ride trails that were quite different to what we ride here in NZ. We rented bikes and were very happy with them. We will return, and recommend Basque MTB to all our friends!
I was afraid the rides would be too easy - they were actually a good challenge. This, paired with 5 full days of riding really increased my skills/ability a big notch. I'm a better rider as I could go over some blockages I had. Really nice!
The most astonishing scenarios, exciting trails and excellent food....doesn't get any better than this.
A heady mixture of fantastic riding, incredible scenery and food, wine and beer to knock your socks off - I'll be back!
Excellent biking in beautiful scenery! All in all, it was much better than I was hoping it to be.
