MOUNTAIN BIKE - GIRLS ON THE TRAILS, ITALY

GIRLS RIDE IN THE MOUNTAINS, WE CHALLENGE, WE LEARN AND WE HAVE VERY VERY FUN!

Once a year we dedicate the trip to GIRLS ONLY, we do as we want and we have so much fun!
You should have a great Mountain bike training and enjoy challenging yourself on trails that are in a Bike park or singletracks with stones, steps and drops. If you like that - you will love the Orobie Alps!
We sleep at charming B&B's, refugees and hotels. We move by bike and shuttle between the best trails the Orobie Alps and the Brembana valley. Here we mix up going with great views overlooking the green fields and the mountain sky line. The downhill has its focus on technical and natural trails. We go all together with our great local guides and plenty of time. To these adventurous days, we add a nice hang out with good food, good drinks and a well-deserved end to our great Termal bath - Spa QC Terme in San Pellegrino Terme.
