Bike Tours

The tours are available in different levels and can be done with Cross Country MTB or E-Bike Fully, so that even participants with different conditions can handle the routes. When selecting guests / tours, care is taken to ensure that nobody is over- or underchallenged.

In addition to the fun of "cycling", it is also important for us to choose routes that will bring you closer to the beauty of the island.
