A fantastic mountain biking trip through Montenegro. Locals will tell you that if you rolled Montenegro flat it would be as big as Russia. But fear not, you’ll not be riding up all the mountains and exploring every valley, just exploring a few of the best and most beautiful during a week of riding, that whilst not overly technical still offers something a little bit special. Squeezed in between Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia Herzegovina, Albania and the Adriatic Coast, Montenegro boasts towering mountains, immense lakes, a stunning coastline and a varied array of mountain biking trails.
Following an evening in Cetinje we’ll start our riding, by skirting the remote villages of the region and take in the incredible Lake Skadar. Over the next few days the riding just gets better and better. First on the hit-list are the Ziovo mountains as we ride along the Montenegrin-Albanian border, to the gateway to the north of Montenegro, Kolasin. The mysterious high plateau of Sinjajevinja awaits us the next day as does lunch with the shepherds of this remote part of the country - which will be one of the many highlights of the trip. By now we are in the heart of Durmitor National Park a place of stunning canyons and limestone gorges. We conclude our trip with a great ride from Niksic via Lovcen National Park to the stunning Bay of Kotor.

This superb desert biking adventure focuses on the deep south of Morocco, a land of big skies and stark mountain ranges where mud-brick kasbahs appear to rise up out of the desert, sitting in tranquil palm oases and framed by dramatic backdrops of snowcapped mountains. We ride along Morocco’s dirt roads, taking us from Marrakech to the Tichka Pass, the highest in the High Atlas, and then southward, descending along the Draa Valley to the fringes of the Sahara Desert.
