Based on the brand new Schist Villages of Portugal Mountain Bike Centers, this new Mountain Biking Short Adventure (5 days) takes you to some of the best trails in Portugal and through charming little villages lost in the mountains. For a great price! These Centers offer cross country, downhill and freeride trails, with four difficulty levels, appropriate for all kinds of users, from beginners to more demanding bikers.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Early morning pick-up in Lisboa or Porto. Transfer to Ferraria de São João. Lunch in Ferraria de São João (not included in price). In the afternoon you can go for a warm-up ride in Ferraria de São João MTB Center. Dinner and Lodging - Casa do Zé Sapateiro.
Day 2: Ferraria de São João MTB Center. This center has four trails available, with different difficulty levels, and also a fifth longer one which connects to Gondramaz and Lousã trail systems, later returning to Ferraria de São João. The easiest trail, with only 3,8km, is ideal for a relaxed ride, contemplating the view over the village. The remaining ones are rather more technical and long, while passing through areas of great beauty, such as Ribeira das Ferrarias valley, Fragas da Lagoa, Campêlo ou São João do Deserto. The longest ride is a whole-day challenge in a mountain setting, and part of its attraction is the section that takes you through the intricate streets of Gondramaz. Other highlights are the river beaches of Ana de Aviz and Fragas de São Simão, as well as the beautiful Casal de São Simão village. Dinner and Lodging - Casa do Zé Sapateiro.
Day 3: Lousã MTB center. Morning transfer to Lousã (approx. 45 min). The mountain biking trails in the Lousã area, some of which pass through ancient mountain shepperd routes, are a real journey in time through the picturesque villages of Chiqueiro, Talasnal, Vaqueirinho, Catarredor, Candal and Cerdeira. From the most accessible trail, ideal for a family journey, to the serious challenges that draw the line between experienced mountain bikers and beginners, Lousã has it all! The unique landscape of the Lousã mountain range is stimulating in every trail. Other rewards, especially in more demanding rides, are reaching the top and the downhill thrill that follows. It is guaranteed fun! Dinner and Lodging - Casa do Zé Sapateiro.
Day 4: Downhill in Gondramaz Center or Ferraria de São João MTB Center. Early morning transfer to Gondramaz. Those who ride through these mountains and valleys will feel plenty of adrenaline, combining the pure pleasure of relaxation and fun with recharging ones batteries and revitalizing the mind. Gondramaz offers 4 trails of different difficulty levels and skill, starting in "Torre 9" and ending at the entrance of the village. You may also descend a thrilling freeride trail with more than 9km. Dinner and Lodging - Casa do Zé Sapateiro.
