Mountain Biking Tours on Sardinia

Mountain biking tours that leave lasting impressions and are once in a lifetime experiences

mountain bike in the wilderness, safely. FROM FULL PRIVATE TO SELF GUIDED, IT'S YOUR CHOICE.

Mountain biking tours have long focused on crossing a region by linking up sections of dirt rather than searching out the best trails in a given area. This falsely assumes mountain bikers care more about the destination than the journey.

But, as mountain bikers, we decided to take a different path:  we have designed our MTB tours ensuring the that each leg is enjoyable and memorable on its own. The end result is mountain biking tours leave lasting impressions and are once in a lifetime experiences.

Our mountain biking offerings have been specifically designed and tested to be ridden on e-mountain bikes as well. On our more challenging tours, we have marked possible recharge stops at restaurants or ranger facilities, in case you have consumed too much juice in the first half of a stage. It should be mentioned that so far no guest who has ridden our Canyon e-bikes has had to stop for charging, only to take spectacular selfies!

We have little guided dates available. That's because we operate all of our trips and you'll be 99% of the times in touch with a tour designer or a tour consultant that will later be your tour guide in Sardinia. You'll know your guide before the trip and - most important - we'll know you before we meet in person. We think this is a wonderful idea, don't you? 

With the same approach we arrange self guided tour. Plus, if you go for a self guided tour, you can take advantage of the luggage delivery service and even share its cost with other travelers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's your usual support level on guided tours?

We have a strict rule since from the very beginning of our adventure: a six to one ratio, which means a riding guide every each 6 riders. Plus, a van that can keep about half riders. The van contains a mobile workshop, spare wheels, spare bikes (the number is chosen depending on the required sizes). We provide a quick lunch on the go (sandwiches, pies, juices, fruit) as well as bevareages. We have gels bars and electrolyes available on purchase. The van is constantly connected to the guide(s).

How do I prepare myself?

Our tours are suited to riders of different capabilities and fitness. For every trip you'll find the estimated fitness level (Recreational, Enthusiast, Challenge). Should you have doubt in the interpretation of that when selecting a tour, the best thing to do is getting in touch with our very experienced staff who'll be happy to help you assess if the tour you've in mind is suitable for you. As an approach, we do not sell a tour if we're not sure you won't enjoy it.

Where do your clients come from?

Many guests find it hilarious, but less than 1% of our guests are from Italy and despite we're proudly Italians, we mostly speak English at work. Our guests are mostly from the US, Canada, Australia, UK and Switzerland. We pride to have a huge repeaters' rate.

How long have you guys been doing this?

Italy-Cycling is not new. Is instead the Italian branch of the head company based in Sardinia and called SardiniaCycling. The head company has started as a family business and it still is, even a pretty evolved one. We’re not afraid to say that we became - through hard work and passion - a leading cycling tour company in Italy. Since 2008 we specialize in arranging unforgettable cycling tours and holidays, accommodating cyclists from all around the world in our paradise island.

Do your guides speak English?

Of course they do. Depending on guest's nationality, on the Country touched by the itinerary as well as on the specific trip level, we choose guides that beside English can speak other languages, like French or German.

Do you offer self-guided tours?

Of course we do. Most tours in our catalog have a self-guided variant. Self-guided tours depart anytime in the season and have a specific pricing that is indicated in the travel page. Services related to guided and self guided tours are listed in all the tour description pages.

What do I get if I reserve a self-guided tour?

Guests on our self-guided tours get an extensive information pack, detailed maps, road book and a GPS with loaded tracks. While on site, we arrange a briefing and we fit the bikes. Our staff are always available to help you wherever and at any time. Our network of offices allows prompt response and immediate action from our own skilled staff. So far, none of our guests have lost a single day of their tour. And its up to us to see that they never will.

Do you offer luggage transfer on your self-guided tours? How does it work?

Yes, sure. And it works in a very smooth way. You'll be asked to leave your labeled bags at the hotel reception every morning by 9.30 am. You'll find bags at the next hotel before 2 pm.

WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT US

Self Guided tour on Sardinia

What a great tour put together by the team at Sardinia Cycling. Australia is a long way from Sardinia - but it was worth the trip! The accommodation and food put together for the tour was fantastic. The logistics worked perfectly with luggage magically appearing...

S.P. Clark, Melbourne, Australia

Outstanding!

I have been doing cycling tours for almost 20 years in Europe. This is our first trip using a professional company and we could not be happier with the service, bikes, routes and overall trip. Hotels were good to very good overall. Food was excellent. Bikes were high end Canyon, many of which had Di2 electronic shifting.

    Ein großartiger, freundlicher, schneller Service! Nachdem ich an der Westküste Sardiniens am Sonntag einen platten Hinterreifen an meinem e-fully MTB hatte, wurde mir sogar am freien Tag nach kurzer Zeit per WhatsApp geantwortet! Man hätte meine Schlauch- und Mantelgröße vorrätig und würde mir ab Montag sofort helfen. Wir vereinbarten für Dienstag einen Termin und mein bike war nach 45min wieder fit! Mit einem neuen "Liquid-Schlauch" - nie gehört in Deutschland- und deutlich unter dem avisierten Preis. Ramona spricht toll deutsch, Simone ist ein stiller, freundlicher Vollprofi! Mein Mantel konnte wieder aufgezogen werden. Jeder deutsche Händler hätte mir noch nen neuen Mantel verkauft....die Zeit konnte in der zugehörigen Bar überbrückt werden. Alles war fabelhaft! Wenn die Touren so sind, kommen wir nächstes Jahr wieder! 1000 Dank an das ganze Team!
  • Mercedes Hartmann
    Grazie Giovanni! Wir haben zwei Premium Rennräder für zwei Tage ausgeliehen und waren mit der Qualität der Räder und vor allem des Services mehr als nur zufrieden. Sardinien auf Rädern erkunden ist genial!
  • Simon Slo
    Ein fantastischer Fahrradverleiher, tolles, nettes und sehr kompetentes Personal. Sehr flexibel und vor allem Hilfsbereit. Großes Dankeschön für den Service und für meine nicht gewöhnliche Anfrage, ihr habt mir sehr geholfen. Wir sehen uns bald wieder. Große Empfehlung für alle die, die sich ein Fahrrad leihen wollen oder sonst was benötigen. Es gibt auch ein dazugehöriges Café, was jeden Radsportler anspricht!
