Forever with us

Iconic stuff to move around.

We like to invest (waste) our money in iconic 2, 3 and 4 wheeled motor vehicles. We can’t wait to have you with us in our Land Rover Defenders but we might end up driving you up with an Ape Car - you never know!

Superb day out with Dennis and Raphael riding some amazing trails through beautiful mountains and forests. It was the best day if our biking holiday by far. I will be coming back!
Tom Brown
Backcountry Finale’s fine attention to customer service and needs combined with their intimate knowledge of the secret trails on offer in the backcountry will have you coming back time and again for more.
Ross Hewitt
Best guiding company in finale, been on multiple trips with these guys and they found me different trails every time, great guides who are a lot of fun and love what they do!
Howard King
2 awesome days riding the trails of finale with excellent guides, who had great knowledge of the area. Great lunches in superb locations, traditional cottage one day and mountain top picnic the next. I would highly recommend BackCountry to anyone planning a trip to finale. We will see you next year :)
Miranda Glencross
Absolutely best Crew! Each guide (we already had the pleasure to bike with three of them) is super gentile, funny and focused on the needs of the group! We had lunch at some different and amazing spots and the service was perfect the whole day. Thanks for everything guys - we will book a full day shuttle again next time like always ;)
Kathrin
Thank you Sandra @backcountry for a fantastic tour of the best Finale has to offer. Sandra has the skill and experience to adjust her speed to the rider on her wheel, showing us all her beautiful lines.Felt we rode the best trails for the group, and the weather (mixed!). Some unique eating experiences which made the trip extra special. Would highly recommend.
Ailsa Leslie
Great guides that take you to amazing trails beyond the normal tourist trails. The lunch spots are super at small local mini restaurants with great food and hospitality. My best mtb experience ever!!
Jonas Nordlund
Incredible trails, lots of natural unspoilt trails with loamy turns. managed to fit a lot of  riding into each day compared to previous mtb guided holidays I've been on, mostly only accesible by a mtb or 4x4.  World class views and an excellent variety of trails for all skill levels. [...] Thanks a million back country Finale!
