Val d'Isère (Savoie, France)

Off to Savoie where Val d'Isère is located. Together with neighboring Tignes, this is a skiing paradise in winter and a mountain bike mecca in summer. The Col d'Iseran runs through the village, a pass so high that even the Tour de France hesitates to pass it often. The central point in the area is the Tignes - Val d'Isère Bike Park, where you'll find the start of various trails or can take the mountain bike shuttle. In total, there are 220 kilometers of trails. Fortunately, beginners can find their way around thanks to the 'First Ride' zone. Also new: the 'Val Pesto,' a route passing through all the local villages where you can find breakfast, aperitif, or lunch.

Zona Zero (Ainsa, Spain)

In the Aragon region of Spain lies the medieval town of Ainsa. Around it lies Zona Zero. Old roads have been restored to suit mountain bikers, who can enjoy official routes as well as family packages, rally routes, and special routes. It's important to note that the 300 kilometers of trails were laid out with respect for the natural environment. Zona Zero is more than just a bike park; it's a network and a tourist attraction. And if you don't feel like biking for a day, Ainsa is definitely worth a day trip!

Trollstigen (Møre og Romsdal, Norway)

Norway's 'Path of the Trolls' is a popular tourist road with eleven hairpin bends. The lookout platform is particularly popular, and the mountain bike route is also becoming increasingly well-known. The trails run amidst breathtaking fjords and fascinating waterfalls. You'll need some serious power, as it's quite uphill in this region. An additional advantage of this route is that Norwegians are generally very courteous to cyclists.

Rhodope Mountains (Bulgaria & Greece)

The Rhodope Mountains stretch across Bulgaria and Greece. With some striking landscape features such as the Trigrad Gorge or the Goljam Perelik (2,191 meters altitude), the area is ideal for mountain biking. Many multi-day mountain bike tours are organized because the area is too vast to fully explore in one day. Once the Romans, Greeks, and Ottomans waged war here, now the region looks somewhat abandoned and ready to be taken over by cyclists.
