3 Downhill Bike Rides in Montenegro to Build a Day Around

1.Epic 25 Turns Downhill Bike Descent w/ Panoramic Cable Car Ascent

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 107 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $131Our pick

Start near Kotor, transfer toward Njegoši, then ride a Giant hybrid or mountain bike downhill through Montenegro’s mountain roads. The panoramic cable car, scenic stops, and guides such as Rafa, Armando, and Simon make this a strong choice for confident riders who want views, history, and a little adrenaline. Traffic and narrow roads require focus.

“Excellent tour, we really enjoyed it great meeting point instructions, we did miss a turning toward the end but Google mapped back to the base of cable car. Teens really enjoyed it, loved the trip up on the cable car.”

3.Bike tour – Panoramic downhill from Njeguši and Kotor serpentines

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $126Best value

Set out from Kotor with guide Ivana and ride mostly downhill from Njeguši along the famous Kotor switchbacks. Visit Njegoš’s birthplace, see traditional ham-making, pause at Horizont Bar, and stop for photos. The private tour lasts about 3 to 4 hours and includes a bike, helmet, guide, snacks, coffee or tea, and vehicle support.

“It was a remarkable downhill bike ride. There are multiple places to stop and take photos. Ivana, the guide, was a delight. While she is involved in mountain rescue, extreme sports like canyoneering, and more daunting tours like repelling, she was great with our small group which included an enjoyable German couple. Bring your smiles and have fun.”
