WHAT IS A MOUNTAIN BIKE ADVENTURE AND HOW SHOULD IT LOOK LIKE? Nowadays there are hundreds of stage races all over the world, but to take part to them it is often necessary to travel half the planet to enter scenarios worth of being cataloged as an adventure. What do you think if we say that, a step away from you, even in Europe, there are unknown places waiting to be discovered on your mountain bike. The Transcarpathian MTB Raid is undoubtedly one of the events that can offer you a great experience.

The Carpathians are a mountain range similar in extension with the Alps. With more than 1,500 km in length, it is one of the last refuges of wild nature on the continent. Romania is the country that hosts half of these mountains. A territory waiting to be discovered by mountain biking.

The Transcarpathian MTB Raid takes this area as a playground to give life to a 5 stages tour with more than 300 kilometers of riding.

It will take place from August 20th to 24th in Transylvania, the land of the mythical Count Dracula.

Organized by Carpathian Dreams, a Spanish / Romanian company specialized in organizing guided trips and MTB events, the aim of the event is to immerse ourselves in the Romanian nature and culture through its landscapes, traditional gastronomy and the guidance of local MTB riders. It is an event limited to 50 bikers in which the quality of the experience lived is above all.

The event has also a competitive part since there will be specific timed sections in each stage, mainly uphill, for those who also seek to give the maximum of themselves in addition to experience this paradise by mountain biking.

We will ride 60 kilometres in average every day, mainly on forestry roads but we will also taste some adrenalizing single trails. From 500 m above sea level to over 2000 m, we will gain more than 6000 m in the 300 km of total distance. The stages will pass two national parks: the Rodnei Mountains National Park and the Calimani Mountains National Park, the latest being recognized as one of the wildest and least populated places in Europe.
By entering to the Transcarpathian MTB Raid, you will enjoy 6 nights of accommodation in hotels and guest houses, all meals, transport of luggage and everything you need to follow the routes of the event during its 5 stages.

In addition, as the event begins on a remote place in the middle of the Carpathians you have the option (recommended) to book transfer services (aprox. 3 h of driving) from the airport of Cluj Napoca, the main city in Transylvania. Two extra nights and guided tours in this vibrant city are also recommended.

Transcarpathian MTB Raid can be the best way to experience one of the few authentic mountain bike adventures you can do in Europe.
