Cycling & mountain biking vacations in Sardinia

How this vacation makes a difference

Global adventures start with a local perspective – that's our philosophy. Whether abroad, or just as importantly at home, the start point is the same; how to get the most enjoyable vacation for our customers while benefiting the local people, economy and respecting the environment.

Cycling & mountain biking is a great way to explore the countryside, traveling at a speed that enables you to take in the surroundings without damaging the environment. On our Sardinia mountain biking vacations, in selecting accommodation in small villages, farm stays (agriturismi) small pensioni or Guest Houses, we make sure that the local people benefit, whilst assuring quality for our guests. By collaborating with locally based people and buying local products from small producers, (organic if possible) we contribute to the regional economy.

Travelers on our Sardinia mountain biking vacations are provided with our Travelers Codes that encourages the reduction of water usage, systems for collecting, recycling or safe disposal of litter and relevant suggestions to minimise damage to the environment, wildlife and marine ecosystems. All our Sardinia mountain biking vacations have a maximum group size of 12 to 15 people minimising both the social and environmental impact. Being able to participate and connect with the local culture provides a richer vacation experience. Accompanied by a local knowledgeable guide our guests are able to understand in depth about Sardinia's culture.

Story of the vacation provider

Having stayed in touch since primary school, Andy and Paul decided to cycle around South America in 1994. Andy was a keen cyclist but Paul hadn’t been on a bike since doing his paper round. They didn’t have an itinerary and used military maps to navigate through the desert. They had so much fun and met such amazing people that they agreed to set up a cycling tour company together. Andy says their trips create a flexible and intimate way to travel and absorb the local culture and, whats more, you never forget how to cycle – it’s just like riding a bike!

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?


All of it except the weather. Being with a like minded group / the trails / the scenery / the food / the organisation where nothing was too much trouble.

2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?


Be prepared for inclement weather. Try and ride your MTB on several consecutive days before you go.

3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Yes. Cycling has very few environmental negatives. It was equally beneficial for us, to meet and see how the local people live and their culture.

4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?


For me it was the first time for such a vacation and I would definitely go back and do it again. It was very enjoyable. The only negative was after a day of heavy rain, getting clothes dry was not catered for, and putting wet clothes on the following day (especially when it is cold) is not to much fun. Whether I would go again in April I am not too sure??
