Mountain Guesthouse
Built from slate, Mountain Guesthouse is a perfect example of traditional architecture. Situated in the heart of Serra d’Arga yet close to the sea, it benefits from an uninterrupted view of the mountain. The accommodation is furnished with an evident traditional flavor. The house has three double bedrooms, one superior room, several living rooms, and one dining room. The porch is used for al fresco dining and it overlooks the garden and the swimming pool with the surrounding landscape as a backdrop.
More secluded is the workshop, often used as a socializing area as riders gather and talk about motorbikes and the adventures they went through that day, while the mechanics are at work. House facilities include Wi-Fi, central heating, and a delicious breakfast made from local produce. It is ideal for families or a group of friends. At the guesthouse, you can enjoy the mountain atmosphere and leisure in comfort. The rooms available are double and twin rooms.
Sports Hotel (FeelViana Hotel)
With a privileged location in the Cabedelo Beach, in Viana do Castelo, the FeelViana Hotel is a four-star-superior development that proposes a sophisticated concept of leisure and comfort in a perfect fusion of relaxation and sports practice. With a contemporary design and perfect fit in the surrounding scenery, the FeelViana Hotel preserves and respects the exceptional habitat where it is set, by using natural building materials such as wood for a sober and harmonious integration in the vast pinewood forest that made its home. Hotel is in the dunes 50 meters from the beach. There is an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, SPA, Sauna, and Sports center (kitesurf, surf, windsurf, cycling activities are available)
Program
The first challenge presents itself just as you leave Basecamp, through quite technical trails, up river beds and streams. Four days on the move, making the most of the different terrains, through breathtaking sceneries, along age-old historic trails and coming across heritage sites hidden in the mountains.
On the fourth day, you will have time to rest and recover. Freeride Spirit offers a range of itineraries for you to enjoy with your family or friends. Visit some of the most picturesque villages in Minho, go down to the coast for a swim at Costa Verde’s stunning beaches; get up close with Serra d'Arga wildlife, especially the herds of wild horses; or simply take the time to enjoy the great local food and wine.
Regardless of how experienced you are you will never forget the endless adrenaline highs you will get riding your 2020 KTM dirtbikes, as well as the time spent at Basecamp, chilling around the swimming pool, socializing with other riders or with your family, or simply taking in the surrounding landscape and all its rich culture and nature.
FreeRide Spirit tours are not just about offroad sport. They planned their dirtbike tours to be family-friendly. Bring your family and friends to share in the experiences they have created for the riders' travel companions.
