DA SILVA BIKECAMP Portugal

Discover the Portuguese Atlantic coast by

Mountainbike

The west coast of Portugal is undoubtedly a surfing paradise. Wonderful beaches and first-class surf spots attract many surfers from all over the world. But many don’t know yet that our coastline is also perfect for mountain biking!

Storming Portugal by Mountain Bike

The near surroundings of our surf camp offer a huge playground with countless beautiful mountain bike trails. There are tours through the rustic hinterland past vineyards and olive groves, where you rarely meet other people. It is more likely to drive past a donkey cart or to see a lonely farmer working on his field in the distance. Other tours take you over narrow single trails directly along the cliffs and offer breathtaking views over the Atlantic Ocean. Some Secret Surfspot has already been discovered in this way. With our shuttle bus we also take you to much higher mountains, which are perfect for unforgettable day trips. There you will also find developed downhill tracks and a bunch of challenging single trails for every taste. In any case, you get to know Portugal in a special way on all tours. We would like to bring the country, the people and their culture closer to you. The athletic demands are not neglected. There is always some adventure and adrenaline with you.

Our Tours

Usually, we ride about 40-60 km and get to an altitude of 800-1200 meters. The tours are mainly cross-country, but there is always a bit of enduro and sometimes a bit of downhill. This depends mainly on the wishes and requirements of our participants, which we are happy to take into account. The following tours are just examples. There are countless variations of them, which you can see on

Apropos

In spring and autumn we have the best weather for mountain biking. Not too hot, but warm enough to be on the road in shorts. While you are waiting for the summer at home, here you can enjoy unforgettable MTB tours in wonderful weather.

Surf & MTB Package

from 475 € per week / person

The combination of surfing with mountain biking! Ideal for every surfer who wants to go mountain biking while on holiday, and for every mountain biker who wants to surf while on holiday. The good thing about it: You can set the schedule so that you can surf when the waves are good and on the other days you can go on the MTB trails. 3 days surfing and 2 days mountain biking or the other way around, could you possibly do more in one week?

If you want to ride in clipless cycling shoes, you should bring your own pedals and shoes. We also recommend having your own helmet, bike gloves, and a backpack for snacks (water, fruit, and a few muesli bars). Ideally you have a camel-back (drinking water backpack), cycling pants (padded) and functional sports underwear (at least 2x complete). Our guides always have repair kits, tire levers, pumps, spare tubes, a derailleur hanger, and a first aid kit.

We don't do leisurely rides through the countryside, but sporty demanding MTB tours that are not for beginners. General physical fitness and cycling experience are prerequisites for participation.
