Itinerary
A cinematic journey across the landscape.
Meskendir Tunnels & Rose Valley Climbs
Starting from Goreme, we warm up with some easy trails through Swords Valley before hitting a scenic ridge climb. A highly technical descent brings us into Meskendir Valley, riding through natural tunnels, canyons, and steeply terraced rock gardens. After fresh orange juice, we tackle the super-steep climbs of Rose Valley, stopping for a tea break at an off-grid eco-cafe on a sheer-sided rocky spur.
The Balkon & Lunch in Cavusin
From the Red Valley Sunset Point, we drop into "The Balkon"—great trail riding through deeply eroded gullies that mimic the canyons of Utah. Surviving this adrenaline-fueled descent, we arrive at the small village of Cavusin to relax over a fantastic 4-course restaurant lunch at Seyyah Han.
Love Valley to the Euro XC Circuit
After lunch, we begin an awesome, steep singletrack ascent up through the massive fairy chimneys of Love Valley. The climb gets even more challenging through Pigeon Valley. Our final epic descent plunges through the forested trails of Zemi Valley before a fast run out through the 2007 Euro XC Cup course in Gorkundere.
