Welcome
to
Lavatrax the home of Mountain Bike Holidays on the sunshine island
of Tenerife. Here you will find all the information you need to plan
and make the most of your holiday here, whether that is a mountain
bike specific holiday or just cramming a days biking into the family
holiday.
Tenerife
is the largest of the seven Canary Islands which are located just
off the coast of Africa and a few degrees north of the Tropic of Cancer.
This location pretty much guarantees year round sunshine to our visitors,
giving you a taste of the dry dusty summer trails all year round.
Here
at Lavatrax we stick to what we know best, the riding, so we don't
manage or operate any holiday accommodation ourselves. However, we
have formed links with some of the best management companies on the
island to be able to offer you very competetive rates on private holiday
apartments to rent, and can also make arrangements on your behalf
with local hotels to try and ensure that you get the best deal possible.
So
what type of trails do we have in Tenerife?
Well,
there really is something for every mountain bike rider, from non
technical scenic tours on dirt roads and jeep tracks, to more challenging
goat tracks and loose gravel descents which promise to give you a
good case of lava rash
if you get things wrong! And believe it or not, due to the fact that
we live on the side of a volcano, there are some gut wrenching climbs
to be found if some real hard training is what you are after.
So
what ever you are looking for, from a single days guided mountain
biking to a full weeks guided and supported riding, please feel free
to contact us for more details. While you are here, why not take a
look at our guest book and see the feedback
from out many satisfied customers. We look forward to showing you
around this island of contrasts very soon!
