Come along with Snakebite's guided MTB tours
In the vicinity of Moraira you will find a wide choice of MTB tracks. From comfortable gravel paths through vineyards, to challenging rock climbing and technical single tracks, you will find it here.
Joining a guided MTB ride will help you get the most pleasure out of your mountain biking holiday. You will enjoy your bike ride without having to worry about finding your way back home and getting stuck on busy roads. A guided MTB tour will always be suited to your fitness level and skills.
We tried to select a range of fun tours and the description of each tour should give you an idea of what to expect. However, nothing is written in stone: tours can be adapted, shortened or even combined to suit your personal wishes. So you can either choose one of the rides listed on our website, or express any preference you may have and we will try to accommodate this.
Below we sum up our collection of rides and the basic numbers (distance and elevation). More information about each ride is found on the next three subpages. How our guided tours are set up is explained at the bottom of this page.

Self guided tours
Sometimes a bike ride is enjoyed best alone. Or in the close circle with good friends or family. Although joining a guided tour has some advantages, we understand it is sometimes nicer to set your own pace and take as many stops as you like. Or maybe just go full throttle and not having to wait for others.
Snakebite offers a range of self guided bicycle tours where you can enjoy your ride and let yourself be guided using a cycle GPS.
For just € 5,00 per day you can rent a cycle GPS. We use the MIO Cyclo 200. The device is very user friendly and anyone who knows how to operate a smart phone will quickly learn how to use it. Just in case, the GPS comes with a quick reference guide with basic instructions.
You can start your ride at Snakebite´s (free parking) or somewhere else in the Moraira region. Click here for more information about the tours we selected. Note: the GPS can only be hired in combination with bike rental!

The basics: this is how we roll
- Tours can be booked 7 days of the week, all year round (subject to availability).
- To book a tour: send us a message (see our Contact page).
- The point of departure of a guided tour varies. We can ride from Snakebite in Moraira but rides can also start in Benitachell, Calpe, Benissa, Jávea, Altea or any other place you find practicable. We will try to take you by car to the start of the route but depending on your location and/or the group size we may request you to follow in your own (rental) car.
- We choose routes together, depending on your personal wishes such as length of the route, technical level, elevation etcetera.
- Before the ride we go over the details of the route and explain how to ride the bike. Next, we will adjust the bike to your height and we fit it with the pedals of your choice (i.e. SPD (clipless) or flat pedals)
- We try to avoid riding in the rain. So if it rains, we'll try to find another day with you with dry(er) weather.
- As far as group size goes, we find "less is more". So groups are small, i.e. usually from one to seven persons. Bigger groups are welcome too, but we may require to have a second guide on the ride. Private tours can also be arranged.
- A ride usually takes around three and four hours.
- Bike rental is not required to book a guided tour.
- During the ride we may visit a bar or terrace for drinks. These drinks are not included in the tour pack.
- Participation is at your own risk. You are required to wear a helmet and obey traffic laws at all times.
- Mountain biking involves some risk, as does in fact cycling or any outdoor activity in general. We will try to choose trails within your capability, but it is your responsibility not to extend yourself beyond that capability. Remember: riding should be fun and you should never feel pressured to take risks.
- Please note that mountain bike trails in Spain are natural trails which means they are "living things". Trail conditions may change as a result of the weather, damages and other factors. As a result it is sometimes necessary to adjust the route of our tours to ensure safe riding and making sure your Snakebite MTB tour is the best possible experience.
- It is your own responsibility to make sure you have adequate travel and / or medical insurance. When in doubt, please check your insurance policy for coverage of sports activities (abroad). See for more information our terms and conditions.
- Needless to say: respect nature, other cyclists, hikers, horse riders and other.
- Enjoy the ride!
