Bike & More
A biking holiday means experiencing nature, appreciating scenery, a physical challenge, and also an adrenaline rush on technically difficult descents. In many cases it is not simply about just a biking holiday. Often it is a combination of several activities. Passionate bikers also want variety; relaxation and rest also forms part of the day. As a contrast to taxing bike tours, this may consist of a bathing trip or an easy walk, for example. People also on the holiday, whose love is not so strong for mountain biking, also need other things on offer. That’s the only way of enjoying a perfect holiday. A biking holiday doesn’t only mean, therefore, challenge and physical effort, but also relaxation, pleasure, and variety. “Mountain Bike Holidays” proves this with what else is available in its regions.
Hotel services and cog mark system
There are things you can rely on: expertise and service do not come about by accident at “Mountain Bike Holidays”. When, how often, and from whom can you get expert bike knowledge? When are certain services available and what do they cost? Every “Mountain Bike Holidays” Hotel has concrete answers to these questions. Each hotel has committed itself to this, and is checked each year.
The new cog mark system, defining the bike service in the individual hotels, serves as an orientation help for bike guests. Three cogs are the basis, representing the minimum services for our hotels.
