Mountain Biking

Melsetter MTB Tours is based at Mount Melsetter, a gracious Karoo House in the heart of the Cape Midlands, in the eastern reaches of the Great Karoo. The region is characterized by Acocks’ veld type named False Upper Karoo, and encompasses the most spectacular of all changes of vegetation in South Africa, being an area of grass veld that has been eroded into Karoo. A summer rainfall area, the terrain consists of irregular plains, hills and mountains, at altitudes varying between 1100 and 1900 metres above sea level.

Melsetter MTB Tours offers One, Two and Three Day Tours, all starting and finishing at Mount Melsetter. Daily distances vary between 50 and 75 kilometres, on quiet public dirt roads and 16 kilometres of tar through the unique Karoo Countryside. Fully catered, and with vehicular back-up for the duration of the ride.
