Singltrek pod Smrkem: Full-Day Guided Mountain Bike Tour from Prague
Spend a full day riding Singltrek pod Smrkem’s famed singletrack with a local guide who tailors trails to your skill. Expect skills coaching, fast flow sections, black-graded technical runs, and a traditional Czech lunch before a return to Prague.
The Experience
Before You Go
Fuel for a long day
Eat a hearty breakfast and carry compact snacks; the day includes long stretches of riding with a provided lunch mid-afternoon.
Use provided gear check
Have the guide inspect your rented full-suspension bike and helmet during the fitting to avoid mechanical issues on remote singletrack.
Hydrate proactively
Bring a hydration pack or bottled water—trail effort and elevation changes make dehydration easy, even in cool weather.
Pick lines conservatively
Black trails are technically demanding—ride within your limit and follow guide instructions on descent lines and braking points.
