Mountainbike Abenteuer Touren

Echte Erlebnistouren im tiefen Hinterland von Kreta fährt man mit den Guides von Cretan Sports Cycling. Als Locals kennen sie die abgelegensten Touren und Trails die zu traumhaft schönen Küstenabschnitten und Hochtälern führen. Es geht von Etappenhotel zu Etappenhotel wobei Ihr selbst mit einem Tagesrucksack unterwegs seid und das restliche Gepäck geshuttelt wird. Der Pick Up ist geländegängig und dient gleichzeitig als back up für den Fall, dass schnell Hilfe benötigt wird. Die Charakteristik der Touren erinnert an einen Alpencross. Kontinuierliche Anstiege und dann entweder ins Tal hinunter, oder auf einer Hochebene mehr oder weniger wellig dahin. Durch die Shuttle Unterstützung habt Ihr am Nachmittag oft mehr Tiefen- als Höhenmeter auf dem GPS Gerät. Auch hier wird wieder viel über Schotterwege bergauf gefahren, aber auch die ein oder andere Singletrail Passage ist dabei.

Die Etappen selbst sind zwischen 25 und 70 km lang und sammeln 500 bis 2000 hm / Tag. Bei frühem Start hat man dann den Nachmittag um Land und Leute zu genießen und am Etappenhotel zu relaxen.

Meldet Euch mit Euren individuellen Wünschen per Telefon, Mail oder über das Anfrageformular. Der Preis richtet sich nach Dauer, Teilnehmerzahl und individuellem Anspruch an die Hotelqualität.

exemplarische Tourenbeschreibung für Zentralkreta

hier wollen wir Euch den Ablauf einer Tour durch Zentralkreta skizzieren wie sie stattfinden kann. Abweichungen können geplant werden, müssen manchmal wetterbedingt sogar vorgenommen werden. Wir starten an der Nordküste Kretas, nehmen den höchsten Berg Kretas, den Psiloritis in Angriff und erreichen nach halber Strecke die Südküste Kretas. Topografische und kulturelle Highlights werden Euch den Atem rauben, aber auch der ein oder andere Anstieg hat es in sich. Wie so oft im Leben lohnt der Einsatz und auf dem Rückweg warten wieder tolle Abfahrten und Gegenanstiege.
