It doesn't matter if you have experience with mountainbiking or not. We make sure that we create a challenging week that suits your level. For the beginners we organise a daily route that will be ride with one of our experienced guides. The routes will be ride in the morning so in the afternoon you can relax and enjoy the island. Our mountainbike guides will learn you the first steps of riding and during the tour they will give your more tips and tricks that will make sure that you will leave the island as an experienced mountainbiker. Please pay attention, it is important that you do have a good level of fitness, this has to do with the altitude meters that we do have to cycle during our routes. It is also possible to rent a mountainbike that will support you during your uphill climbs. ivm de hoogste meters die op Elba onvermijdelijk zijn. Het is echter ook mogelijk om een e-mountainbike te huren die je net wat meer ondersteuning zal geven de berg op!

Mountainbike Rental
Mocht je niet in het bezit zijn van een eigen mountainbike of vind je meenemen in het vliegtuig teveel gedoe of te duur? Huur dan voor weinig geld een mountainbike bij ons. Voor de hele week betaal je maar € 90,- voor de CUBE Analog (model 2021&2022) mountainbike met 1×12 Sram aandrijflijn en 29er wielen.
E- mountainbike.
Wil jij graag mee doen met een mountainbike week, maar ben je bang dat de hoeveelheid hoogtemeters toch zijn tol gaan eisen? Dan is het natuurlijk ook mogelijk om mee te doen met een elektrische mountainbike. Deze kun je huren voor € 60,- per dag of € 300,- voor 6 dagen.
Bringing your own MTB?
Er is natuurlijk niets zo fijn als je eigen mountainbike, dus het is ook zeker mogelijk deze mee te nemen. Kom je met de auto? Dan is dit niet heel moeilijk. Kom je met het vliegtuig? Dan zijn de kosten voor een fiets met Ryanair €120,- voor een retour en met Transavia € 98,-. Hou hierbij ook rekening dat je fiets beschermd moet worden (fietstas, doos of zelf gefabriceerde materialen), de pedalen moeten eraf en het stuur moet gedraaid. Het is helaas niet mogelijk om een e-bike mee te nemen in het vliegtuig.
How do I reach Elba?
The fastest way to reach Elba is by flying to Pisa and taking the train.
To look for the best tickets we recommend to go to the direct website of the airline company.
- Transavia: vliegt naar Pisa vanaf Schiphol en Rotterdam/Den Haag airport
- Ryanair offers many flights to Pisa.: vliegt naar Pisa vanaf Eindhoven, Weeze (Dusseldorf), Charleroi (Brussel)
Please notice that when you book your flight you won't arrive later as 17:00 on Pisa airport. Otherwise you have to stay over for a night in Pisa. If so we work directly together with the Safe Stay hostel in Pisa what is reachable by foot from the airport and offers great comfortable rooms.
From Pisa Airport. The last direct train is leaving at 16:40. The last train with a transfer to the bus in Campiglia Marittima is leaving at 19:30. The last boat is leaving Piombino harbor at 22:30.
From Elba: The earliest that you could fly from Pisa Airport is 08:28. To be able to be on time for this flight you have to take the boat at 05:00.
From the airport in Pisa there is a good train connection to Piombino Marritima, from where the boat to Elba departs. We pick you up in the port of Portoferraio where the boat arrives. If you are coming with more people it could be an option to rent a car at Pisa airport this could be cheaper as many train tickets.
Cost train return ticket: €20 / €30.
Cost ferry ticket return €25 / €35 (By foot. With a car will be around €70 or €100 return).
