Pure Mountains

I can absolutely recommend Pure Mountains with five stars. The location, routes, and accomodation were all perfect and the hosts Jenny and Tim were so friendly and knowledgeable and are seriously talented riders. The group was allowed space to gel and everybody contributed to a wonderful few days of serious mountain bike riding. Top food and a small team of helpers managed the itinerary perfectly.

Just awesome!
Fantastic gravel bike holiday with Tim and Jenny at Pure Mountains. The local trails are fantastic and the views amazing. First time riding with them, but will definitely return.

Tim and Jenny are the perfect hosts for your boutique mountain bike experience. They’ve thought about everything. You’ll find a welcome package on your bed, freshly made guacamole for lunch and perfect catered meals. It’s not just about hitting the trails. They provide a total package, where taking time to soak in the scenery and relaxing at the villa is equally important.

Despite challenging weather conditions Tim and Jenny organised a great program with awesome tours on fantastic trails! Besides the mountainbiking the Lodge let you feel at home immediately and the food & drinks leave nothing to be desired!🙌🏻 Will definetely be back one day at this lovely place🏔🚲❤

Great experience! Amazing day of riding with the kindest guides Tim and Jenny who were extrmeely kind thoughtful and gave amazing directions and coaching. We got picked up and shuttled into the Sierra Nevada National Park and then climbed up. Amazing views and descent which was followed with homemade sandwiches, cake, tea and cuddles from their lovely dogs. Truly a once and a lifetime experience. Highly recommend if you’re a biker looking to travel in Spain!

Everything about my short week stay at Pure Mountains was superb.

Jenny and Tim are fantastic hosts and guides, nothing was any trouble for them and Tim even looked after and cleaned our bikes for us.

Their farmhouse is in a great location to look out over the hills and makes a perfect, well equipped base for relaxing at the end of the day.

All the food was excellent, be it breakfast or dinner served at the farmhouse or the welcome appearance of their pick-up (and occasionally faithful Land Rover) with snacks or lunch while out on the trail.

It'd all be for nothing without the riding though and that doesn't disappoint! Stunning scenery and amazing fast flowing trails with more technical sections, switcbacks, rocks (lots of rocks!). If you don't like riding a bike here you probably don't like riding a bike.

I had a wonderful time at Pure Mountains! The riding has been simply amazing, Tim and Jenny are excellent guides who take very good care of the group on some very nice routes with a good balance between climbing, traversing and descending.

Also the stay at the villa in the outback was very nice with luxury rooms a lovely breakfast, on-route catered lunch and home-made 3 course diner after a long day riding. Next-level luxury mountainbiking adventure!

Unfortunately I could only join 2 days, but I am planning to return for the full 4 day adventure! Keep up the good work!

Thank you Jenny and Tim.
Our short week stay with you was perfect.
From the welcome drink at the bar the evening we arrived where we met the others staying with you to our last evening, you made us feel welcome and part of the group, as did your friendly cats and dogs.
Our room was spotlessly clean and a quiet place to rest after riding.
Breakfast was excellent, taken outside with a wonderful view, as too were the evening meals, they were super.
The trails you took us on were fabulous, especially the last day when we rode along the dried up river.
Our lunch time stops were tasty and filling and in wonderful places, and thank you again for catering for a vegan.
Your home is set in beautiful mountains, in total peace and quiet, we marvelled at looking at the Milky Way in the evenings.
I look forward to visiting you again.

Pure Mountains has been on my bucket list of to-do trips for a few years and didn’t disappoint. Firstly Tim and Jenny are the most gracious hosts and the entire group felt well looked after so don’t panic if you are of mixed abilities. The riding was incredibly scenic and exhilarating. My first time riding a full bouncer and it was an eye opener. Highly recommend. We did a short week break which was spot on.

Far exceeded my expectations!
I was at Pure Mountain in september 2024 - and will definently be going back.
Tim and Jenny (the managers and guides at Pure Mountain), made this an awsome experience at the lodge and on the trails.
I had such a good time, and will recommend this to MTB riders looking for a epic nature experience in Sierra Nevada, rather than just another bike park/trail center.

A fantastic experience combining some challenging climbs more than rewarded with a variety of long descents. Jenny, Tim and the support crew are wonderful hosts and have everything thought out and planned. They’ll keep you well fuelled with delicious food too.

All you have to do is ride your bike and enjoy yourself. If you can’t enjoy yourself here then there’s something seriously wrong with you……

Do yourself a favour and book now!

A fantastic mountain biking holiday. Great trails, food and company. Get in the airport transfer and relax. From then on you're in good hands. I've just returned from my second visit and it more than matched up to first. I will be returning.

I wasn’t 100% sure what to expect riding in Sierra Nevada but after a four days of riding I can only say it’s epic and even more so thanks to our hosts.

Jenny & Tim have this biking holiday thing down to a T… both are exceptional guides and hosts. Whether guiding high up the mountain or chatting at the breakfast table I always felt at ease in their company, confident they had everything covered and allowing me to just relax and enjoy the trip.

The trails… wow. Everything you would expect from mountainous riding. Rocky, flowing descents followed by technical switchbacks and all natural rock gardens great to just blast through. All accessed via manageable, winding climbs… after all you have to earn your descents but they’re really worth it.

Each day we enjoyed great trailside support, be it riding guidance, bike maintenance or the all important smorgasbord for lunch! Then back home each day for the greatest welcome back thanks to Rory, Coco & Molly (the house doggos!) with cuddles galore before cake, beers and dinner. Then relaxing by the log burner until the days riding caught up with us.

I cannot recommend Pure Mountains highly enough, from start to finish you will have a great experience whether it's the guided riding, accommodation or food. Jenny and Tim are the most welcoming of hosts and their years of experience in riding the trails that surround them plus their ability to gauge your fitness and ability means that you will be rewarded with trails that will test you but leave you with a feeling you just don't get from a bike park. Add in the spectacular views, the wildlife and hopefully the weather, and you will want to start planning your return visit as soon as you get home.

Just returned home after a really memorable four days of mountain biking with Pure Mountains with my 15 yr old son. Jenny and Tim were fantastic hosts and guides and made the whole experience really enjoyable. The trails were very different from the uk - wild and high altitude with really good mix of high mountains and lower trails which made fun links between villages. We were pushed out of our comfort zone but in a really supportive way. We felt a real sense of achievement at the end of every day - we particularly enjoyed the Valley of death and Yator ridge (which I recognised from the video on their website). Pure Mountains know the area like the back of their hand. Our hire bikes were great too. It was a great father/son trip but I wouldn’t hesitate to return with a group of friends. We were brilliantly catered for and cakes were amazing! We felt like family after the four days together.

This was a wonderful stay throughout! Tim is a great guide who knows every stone in the Sierra Nevada and always found the right level of difficulty for us, so we always felt safe and could take full pleasure on the rides. And nothing tops having a cold beer on the farmhouse terrace after a day out on the bikes, overlooking the hills and watching the sun set behind the next ridge! I hope we'll find a chance to be back one day!

An excellent four days mountain biking with Pure Mountains in October. Jenny and Tim are fantastic guides and absolutely lovely people. From the farmhouse in the hills, to the network of people they have developed, what a truly commendable operation! Picnics mid ride and doggos waiting for us by the fire! What more could we ask for? The riding in the area is fantastic, there seems to be something for everyone. My only wish is that we had managed to get up to xylophone, but even Jenny and Tim can't control the weather! Fear not, there are still plenty of hills to ride up and down whatever the weather, and it just means that I'll have to come back for more riding!

Jenny and Tim are fantastic hosts, the accommodation, location and food are excellent. The riding is amazing....with a real feeling of being out in the wilds. Definitely recommended.

We've just returned from a fabulous 4 days with Tim and Jenny at Pure Mountains. Wonderful riding, top-notch guiding and really beautiful accommodation. Especially loved the rocky xylophone trail, the 5 star outdoor breakfasts and lunches, the views, cuddles with the dogs and the very comfortable bed! Thanks for looking after us so well. We'll be back soon!

One of the best mountain biking experiences you will ever have. Fantastic hosts, amazing location, and incredible food. Oh yeah, and the riding is kinda good too 😃. This was my first time riding with Pure Mountains and I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. I have gone on many similar trips in the past but none compare to the overall experience offered through Pure Mountains. Extremely professional, friendly and most of all fun. Well prepared for a safe experience during these Covid times as well. I highly recommend!
