Ride oN is a cooperation of like-minded bike guides who share their passion for mountain biking, nature, mountains and traveling.
At home in South Tyrol in the Italian Alps or in distant countries, on a day tour or a longer bike trip, the pleasure of biking and the thrill on the trails play a big role. But experiencing nature and culture is also an essential part of it. Because biking in good company offers intense experiences, the country and its people, however, are also a great source of enrichment. Together, they can make for a fantastic overall experience that stays with you forever.
For us, riding a bike is not just riding. It allows us, in the best possible way, to have extraordinary experiences and gain a sense of freedom. And that’s what we want to share with you when we ride together.

Can you mountain bike on Lofoten? Yes, indeed! The Lofoten Enduro Tour offers a mountain bike program with adrenaline-packed, technically challenging as well as flowy singletrack downhills, coupled with stunning views over the most beautiful island archipelago in the world. Lofoten – that’s impressive mountains and rugged peaks, open sea and idyllic fjords, romantic white sand beaches and pristine landscapes, green heaths and raging waterfalls and of course breathtaking trails from the mountain straight down to the sea.
And it doesn’t stop at the incredible riding experience: you will stay in unique ‘rorbuer’ houses, traditional fisherman’s cabins that have been amazingly renovated and every evening you will embark on a delicious culinary journey of discovery in different restaurants where the sea with its variety of fish is the focus. And with a little luck, you will also admire the northern lights.
Extensive bike rides in unique nature. Join us on this riding adventure to a special wilderness outpost!
