The vast majority (over 90%) of our trails are below 2200m and accessible all year round. During the winter months we ride low down making the most of the dry trails and warmer temperatures. These vary between those in Bubion in the mountains and the much hotter temperatures towards Granada. In the summer we make excusions above 2500m in order to access huge descents and to escape the warmer temperatures at lower levels.
