Switchbacks offers several different and flexible long weekend or mid-week breaks.
These are an excellent and cost effective way to get a taste of the fantastic trails out here while not sacrificing
too much work or family time.
A good example would be a 4 day break, 4 days of brilliant riding including accommodation and food for only £65 (95€) per day.
For this service we would highly recommend flying into Granada with little more than an hour transfer time.
Example long weekend itinerary (4 days & 4 nights)
This can be tailored suited to you, from pushing yourself beyond your limits or having a relaxing weekend break on flowing lush singletrack - you decide.
In either case aside from the small climbs, every bit of your time on trail will be on singletrack - no fireroads here.
Day 1
Ride our world famous 57 Switchbacks run. Over 3000m of vertical descent ALL ON SINGLETRACK covering over 40kms. A truely world class descent with varying terrain from arm pumping technical to the fastest, most flowing and funnest singletrack you will ever ride. A hard, long day but one for everyone.
Day 2
The Cresta Run - a miracle of natural trail with burms, compressions and brilliant singltrack starting out in alpine beauty descending through rocky singletrack and flowing chutes. You will never ride a better trail anywhere!
Day 3
Ride For 6 Inches Only - actually a misnomer as we ride hardtails on it! Another unforgettable day of truely fantastic singletrack and steep descents.
Day 4
Last day - whatever you want. Ride several more hours of singletrack or maybe session some of the harder trails
for skills development or learn how to jump, ride drops, catch yourself on film? A fun day close to Bubion so we can run back to base camp,
pack up and get you back to airport for your return home.
Learn to ride breaks
Following feedback and suggestions from many previous guests, Switchbacks have created a Learn to Ride break aimed at novice to intermediate riders who want to improve their general standard of riding.
This is available as a long weekend or week breaks.
The aim of the course is to develop a mountain bikers skill set on carefully selected terrain and then, as their experience grows,
spend time practicing their new abilities on progressively more interesting terrain.
