Get your santiag' and your best cowboy hat ready, we're taking you to the Spanish Wild West!
Europe's largest desert, the Bardenas Reales are a little jewel in the north of Spain! And it's a little-known spot for mountain biking! With Iñaki, your local captain, we've planned a 4-day All-Mountain program for you in the heart of the canyons to ride the singles tracks (I hear they ride the R's too ;)).

We're a young agency set up by 2 Guillaume and 1 Axel. We launched the project in 2020, just before the covid. That's what we call having a good nose.
Simply put, we live, eat and sleep outdoors. Axel has more gear than an aircraft carrier, Guillaume n°1 sleeps in his harness, and Guillaume n°2 is somewhere between Jack Sparrow and Jacques Cousteau.
Our ambition has always been to connect outdoor sports enthusiasts with manufacturers' brands on genuine, authentic trips. This allows you to benefit from quality equipment, brand athletes who come to share their experience, and all this on an adventure where you evolve and progress.
We're delighted to be able to imagine these unique stays and share them with you with passion.
