Winter MTB Holidays in Spain
Swap wet winters, frozen fingers and muddy trails for dry riding days in Southern Spain.
Ride Southern Spain offers guided winter MTB holidays based in Lanjarón, Granada — with access to uplifted downhill tracks, big enduro descents, flowing forest trails and hand-picked riding zones across Andalucía.
Our winter weeks are built around good weather, good riding and proper mountain biking. Ride with local guides, shuttle into the mountains, stay in our rider-focused villa and spend your winter riding instead of waiting for spring.
Ride light. Ride more. Ride all winter.
Why Ride Southern Spain in Winter?
When much of Europe is covered in rain, mud or snow, Southern Spain stays rideable through winter.
Around the Sierra Nevada and Costa Tropical, winter often means:
- dry trails
- mild temperatures
- long riding days
- blue skies
- tacky dirt
- flowing singletrack
- big mountain descents
The variety is what makes this area special. One day can mean fast, open mountain riding with huge views. The next might be loamy forest corners, natural flow and endless descending.
Enduro, Downhill & Uplift Riding
Our winter MTB holidays are designed for riders who want maximum riding with minimal stress.
Most days include uplift support and guided riding across different zones around Granada and Andalucía. We choose trails based on:
- weather conditions
- rider level
- riding style
- group energy
Expect:
- flowing singletrack
- natural enduro trails
- berms and fast corners
- technical sections
- long descents
- forest trails
- rocky alpine terrain in higher zones
- proper mountain riding
This isn’t bike park laps all day. It’s real riding across varied terrain with local knowledge and flexible plans.
Een typische rijdag
A normal day usually looks something like this:
- breakfast at the villa
- shuttle uplifts into the mountains
- multiple descents through different terrain
- local lunch stop (if group wants it)
- more riding in the afternoon
- beers, food and bike prep back at the villa
Simple. Ride-focused. No overcomplicated schedules.

Guided by Riders Who Know the Zones

That means:
- less driving around
- less guesswork
- better trails
- smoother logistics
- more riding
Whether the group wants fast flow, technical downhill, natural enduro or a mix of everything, we shape the week around the riders.
