The Black Hole Enduro Tour was a superlative experience --- at least an 11/10. It was an absolute pleasure and privilege to stay at the Koros Eco Hotel and get to know our hosts both on and off the trails. The Black Hole Trail is, of course, an inimitable experience --- particularly riding it with the person who designed it. The natural single track around the Jamnica Bike Park and surrounding area is also truly superb. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Every element of it was incredible and I absolutely would love to do the whole thing again.

A great week in Finale (hills, sun, sea). Brilliant riding on long trails with excellent guides. Faultless organisation (communication, driving, trailer, info, well matched group). Unbelievable food (lunches in small restos in tiny villages every day!). Good hotel, geared up for biking. Can I go again?

Just back from Pyrenees, staying in Bielsa. We had an amazing week of steep, technical riding with some epics and hike-a-bikes mixed in. Very fun, loads of variety and some of the best trails I've experienced anywhere. Atlas made the whole thing super easy and the local guides at Altitude were absolutely spot on - super friendly, nothing was a problem, really flexible to what we wanted to ride. Great hotel, Bielsa is a lovely town, food was really great. Would recommend if you like natural, rocky, technical riding. Great trip cheers everyone!

Atlas put together an amazing custom tour 6 day tour for us in Scotland. Our local guides Mike and Will were fantastic. They took great care of us. The e-bikes were high end Specialized Levo bikes that were well maintained. The hotels and restaurants were great. Highly recommended!

3rd time in Finale with these guys and it really doesn't disappoint. Ben and the team consistently go above and beyond to help out, even changed the itinerary for me as I could only make a half week. Will definitely be back.
Our Maribor + Schladming Bike Park Madness tour is a full week of lift-served downhill in two of Europe's best-known bike parks. Start in Maribor, Slovenia, on the Pohorje World Cup DH venue, then head to Schladming, Austria, to ride the Planai bike park. Bring the big bike and the pads, and leave the transfers, lift passes, hotels and local guides to us.
If your idea of a perfect week is lift, drop in, repeat, this one is for you. We start in Maribor, Slovenia, where the Pohorje Bike Park has hosted World Cup downhill racing, and finish in Schladming, Austria, riding Bikepark Schladming on the Planai. In Maribor you stay at Hotel Arena, right by the gondola and our local partners' bike shop, where your bike is stored and serviced. Two days with a local guide show you the lines, then a self-guided day lets you lap your favourites. Then we load the van and trailer and head to Schladming for two more days of laps, one of them with a local guide.
What's included
- Airport transfers from and to Munich or Graz by van with bike trailer
- Maribor to Schladming transfer by van with bike trailer
- 4 nights at Hotel Arena Maribor (4-star superior, wellness area), twin share, bed and breakfast
- 3 nights in Schladming, twin share, half board (hotel TBC)
- 2 guided days in Maribor with a local guide, plus 1 self-guided day
- 3-day Maribor Pohorje lift pass
- 1 guided day in Schladming with a local guide
- 2-day Bikepark Schladming pass

It is a full-on week of downhill in two very different parks, in two countries, with a hotel spa, good food and a cold beer at the end of each day. Our partners on the ground know every line in their parks, so you spend less time looking at maps and more time on the trails. Let Atlas Ride Co take the hassle out of your next bike park trip.
