Activities in the Cape: Mountain Biking
Cape Town is a haven for mountain bikers. The area surrounding The Last Word Constantia boutique hotel offers numerous exciting single track and more leisurely mountain biking routes on the mountains and in the pine plantations and forests.
You have the choice to hire your own mountain bike or opt for an escorted trip on the mountain, around the Constantia winelands and in the Cape Point section of the Cape Peninsula National Park.
Cape Mountain Biking Highlights:
• Adventurous downhill single track routes
• Leisurely meanders through the winelands
• Spectacular mountain biking routes along the mountain and in the forests
• Well-marked routes in Tokai forest and the Constantiaberg
Cape Town provides the perfect setting for mountain biking. Biking routes abound for all levels, from the casual rider to the off road enthusiast.
Just a few minutes drive from our accommodation in Constantia are the trails in the Tokai Forest network and Constantiaberg. Here you will find excellent jeep and single tracks, guaranteed to get the adrenaline pumping and the heart rates racing.
Another great way to sample the delights of the winelands is a leisurely bicycle ride through forest and vineyards on some of Cape Town’s finest wine farms in Constantia. Pass through estates such Groot Constantia, Buitenverwagting and Constantia Uitsig.
An established route follows paths through the indigenous forest of the area, and then meanders through the large estates that make this area famous, giving a great insight into upper-class Cape living. Take a leisurely ride, stopping along the wine route sampling wines at the various award winning estates and learn all about the wines you choose.
Please note that the mountain biking activities are for guests staying at The Last Word.
