Cycling – Mountainbiking

One of the most popular activities in this area is cycling, whether you like road bikes or mountainbikes, this is the place to be!
The mountain landscape is ideal for sports and offers challenges at all levels.
For many cyclists the ‘Sierra Bernia’ is a fantastic highlight and with the other mountains around the Pop Valley there is a lot of variation.
Wonderful exertion with challenging climbs, breathtaking views after several hairpin turns, here in the Pop Valley you are in the middle of nature and it seems as if the mountains are made for cycling. Every year many top athletes are coming here on training camp and in preparation of the cycling season.
For mountainbiking it is the same, this is the perfect location to go all the way.
In fact, because Sun Sea Sleep is located on a mountain top, several mountain bike routes pass here. After a big challenge you can end up here at your own accommodation and take a well-deserved dip in the pool. How nice is that?
It is also possible to enjoy a adapted cycling breakfast here, at which we coordinate breakfast with the activities to be performed.
