Self guided tours

Go your own way!

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 therefore 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.

We´ve selected the following self guided tours, ranging from proper MTB rides to longer trekking tours using small roads. You can start your ride at Snakebite´s (free parking) .

Fun and Coast

Route: Moraira - Benitachell – Jávea - Moraira

​If you are new to the area and want to get to know the mountain biking here, this tour has the perfect collection of trails for you to get to know!

The tour departs from Snakebite headquarters in Moraira and goes almost immediately off road. The first 15 kilometres are on rolling paths through forests and fields, after which we descend into the dry riverbed of the Gorgos river. Here we cross the valley via narrow roads towards the foot of the Montgó mountain. In Gata de Gorgos we stop for a coffee in the church square so that we can recharge for our return journey.

This mountain bike tour is a combination of the best elements of what cross country mountain biking has to offer here: single tracks, rocky passages, descents and also small roads and dirt tracks to cover the necessary kilometres.

  • Distance: 38 Km.
  • Climbing: 500 m. 
  • Duration: about 3 hours.

Moraira, Benitachell, Jávea and Teulada in a day

This ride takes you through the four villages closest in our area: the coastal towns of Moraira and Jávea and the more inland villages of Teulada and Benitachell. We´ve selected small asphalted as well as dirt roads so won´t get caught up between cars and other traffic. It´s just a very scenic route to discover these towns and the lands that surround them. It´s a perfect route to spend all day riding and tasting; have a soft drink and maybe some lunch at the busy coast and taste a great ´café con leche` or ´cortado` in one of the sleepy ´pueblo´s` just off the coast.

  • Distance: 43 Km.
  • Climbing: 800 m.
  • Duration: about 3 - 4 hours.

Jávea and Jalón small roads

Route: Moraira – Jávea - Gata de Gorgos – Lliber - Jalón - Benissa - Moraira

If you´re looking for a day ride to discover the area on the bike, rather than off roading this may be a good ride for you. It´s almost completely on small roads and takes you along the coast and then more inland. The hinterland of the Costa Blanca is really beautiful with its vineyards and olive- and organegroves. 

  • Distance: 62 Km.
  • Climbing: 1.000 m.
  • Duration: about 4 hours.
