tried to book with these boys for sept/oct but no slots for us. best similar alternatives within europe?

Hi Jojito, sorry that we didn´t have space for you, things book up really early. Other places that I constantly hear about being good (I don´t know if I´m meant to do this but here goes)… WhiteRoom, Ciclomontaña, Bike Kulture, The Mountain Bike Adventure, Altitude Adventures, Bike Verbier, Riviera Bikes, there´s others too but I just can´t think this early in the morning.
Hope you get a great trip and hopefully see you out with us in the future 🙂

If you want a taste of BasqueMtb you could go to Ainsa. Their Pyrenees trip goes near there at times. They are marked natural routes, great fun and technical. Have a look heres…

I’ve only done a single day with Doug but have stayed in the area quite a lot.

I’ve done weeks with Riviera Bikes, Switchbacks and Bike Village.

I would say that Riviera would be closest (including great food).

Riding again this year with Ciclo Montana, Morrocco this time though. One I’d definitely recommend
