Great MTB holidays in France!
Castles, chateaux, historical towns and beautiful landscapes: France has plenty to offer away from the cultural and tourist hubs. Join us on a journey to discover the lesser-known parts of France and combine the freedom and thrill of mountain biking with local culture and history. Not forgetting the variety of local culinary delights, always a key feature of any experience in France.
So if the culture, the landscapes and meeting the locals is just as important as riding great trails, these tours are made for you.
The perfect mix of mountain experience, physical challenge and trail fun.
Alpine pastures, mountain ridges, glistening glaciers and majestic peaks, and all on seemingly endless trails: these tours are aimed at experienced riders and adventurers who enjoy biking in the unique atmosphere of the high mountains.
Once considered mystical and terrifying, before becoming popular with alpinists and hikers, the mountains are now an (almost) limitless adventure playground for mountain bikers. Preparation, good physical condition and bike handling skills are essential. Our guided and self-guided MTB tours combine over 20 years of knowledge and experience in the French mountains to offer you an unparalleled alpine mountain experience.
Can't get enough singletrack? Neither can we!
If mountain biking for you is all about the trails and the singletrack, you've come to the right place. The trails on the tours in this category are guaranteed to leave you grinning from ear to ear. Whether you're looking for epic descents, fast and flowy, or techy and rooty, the diversity of France's landscapes and scenery means it has just about everything to offer in terms of trails. With our range of trips offering 3 different technical and physical levels, we've got just the right tour for you!
From ridge runs to switchbacks, from balcony trails to endless descents, we're never happier than when we're sharing our favourite trails, linking them all up to make for some epic days in the saddle.
Full mountain range traverses, transalpine routes, from the mountains to the sea: Our epic MTB tours are all about the journey.
Arriving at a superb location after a great day of trail riding, getting to know your overnight host, the locals, the history. A local meal before a well deserved rest. Packing up and setting off for a new day of adventure. Discovering what lies on the other side of the mountain, the next valley, the next pass... Relishing the evolving landscapes and architecture.

Centre-based tours in the most beautiful MTB destination in France. Comfortable accomodation, a large choice of daily rides, minus the stress of packing your bags each morning.
These tours often start from a crush on a cosy inn, an unusual guest room, a historic hotel, an idyllic place. And of course, the pleasure of feeling at home, the feeling of having lived here in another life. This feeling is hard to describe, but we're sure you know what we mean. And when there is so much mountain biking potential around, why not put down your bags for a few nights? Go for these comfortable, flexible and regionally in-depth mountain bike trips....
Downhill orientated? Happy on exposed, rocky and technical descents? Don't fancy anything too big when it comes to climbs?
Our enduro tours are all about the descents. Whether it's guided or self-guided, at a base camp or on a point-to-point, these tours take you on a selection of the best trails an area has to offer. With the help of shuttles and ski lifts, we minimise the climbing and maximise your downhill fun. From fast and flowy to techy and rooty, these tours take in the best trails and terrain the top French biking destinations have to offer. All in a relaxed, fun atmosphere!
All of the must-do must-see major European itineraries.
Discovering Europe's heritage by mountain bike has been one of France Bike Trip's mantras for many years. We did not design, create or build this heritage. Nature, time and people have taken care of it. But we have tried to find a different way of discovering it, a different way of reaching it, a different way of approaching it. If you like beautiful mountain biking as much as discovering a new region or country, the trips in this theme are made for you.
