Discover the Ride Trans Nevada Entry Loop — a fully supported hotel-to-hotel mountain bike route through Spain’s Sierra Nevada, designed as the perfect first big mountain week.
The Entry Loop is a fully guided, hotel-to-hotel mountain bike tour across the Sierra Nevada and Alpujarra region in southern Spain. Designed as the most accessible of our Ride Trans Nevada routes, it offers big mountain scenery, steady climbing, and long rewarding days — without the extreme effort of our Challenge or Epic loops.
You’ll ride gravel tracks, quiet mountain roads, and panoramic high-altitude routes, linking whitewashed villages and remote landscapes. Your luggage moves ahead each day, so you ride light and focus on the experience.
This is the ideal introduction to multi-day mountain biking in Spain.
This route is perfect if you want:
✓ Your first proper big-mountain MTB week
✓ Steady effort without extreme daily elevation
✓ A supported point-to-point route across the Sierra Nevada
✓ Local guiding and daily briefings
✓ Comfort, culture and great food at the end of each stage
★★★☆☆ (3/5)
The Entry Loop is graded at a moderate level. Expect consistent climbing and 5–6 hours moving time per day, but without the long high-altitude pushes found on the Challenge and Epic routes.
Effort is based on distance, elevation gain and time on the bike — not technical difficulty.
✓ You ride regularly and are comfortable with 5–6 hour days
✓ You want a real mountain challenge without maximum strain
✓ You’re new to multi-day point-to-point MTB routes
✓ You want to experience the Sierra Nevada properly, not rush it
✓ You prefer steady pacing over race intensity
