Madeira Island is a small paradise for Mountain Biking in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and only a few hours flight away from most European cities. Here you can find fantastic trails from mountain to sea level! Its famous mild weather makes biking in Madeira enjoyable all year round. For the less technical and experienced riders, the famous Madeira “Levadas” are flat and ideal for a relaxed bike ride through its amazing Nature. (Source: Lokoloko Madeira)
