Cycling Day Tour in Sintra:
Come ride with our local guide and experience some of the best
mountain biking trails in Sintra Natural Park. Our most popular route is 30km long and takes us through all kinds of trails – open fire roads, narrow single tracks and even some quite technical trails we man-made sections.
One of our favorite trails takes us all the way from Peninha's chapel, one of the highest points in Sintra, to Guincho's beach. It´s the perfect summer ride: you blast downhill for more than 30 minutes and end with a swim in the ocean!
We have two options for this short tour:
» Short ride - 1h to 2h ride
» Long ride - 2 to 5h ride
About Cycling Sintra Cascais Natural Park:
Sintra Natural Park is a paradise for mountain bikers - our favorite playground, just outside the capital of Portugal, Lisbon.
Sintra's mountain range or locally the Serra de Sintra covers about 16 km from the UNESCO World Heritage town of Sintra to Cabo da Roca on the Atlantic Ocean. Its highest point is at 530 meters. Sintra was known to the Ancient World as Lunae Mons (mountains of the Moon) and was the legendary retreat of Diana the Huntress (Cynthia to the Romans, hence Çintra).
Portugal Nature Trails runs guided mountain bike rides in Sintra Natural Park every day. These rides can be adapted to all kinds of technical and fitness levels so everyone has fun. From tight single tracks to wide open dirt roads or even free ride stunts Sintra has plenty to offer!
The riding distances can vary from only 12km up to 50km and riding times last from one hour up to 4 hours.
This is what our local guide has to say: 'I´ve ridden in some pretty cool places all over the world – Belize, Brazil, USA, Canada, Turkey, Greece, Spain, and many others – and although I had a great time I still think that Sintra has some of the best trails out there. That is why I want to share these trails with you. I´m sure you will love them'.
