Cycling

Recently, a mountain bicycle became a must of the rental arsenal of the most Baikal tourist bases, and, in particular, those located on Olkhon Island or in its vicinity.

The Olkhon landscapes are really cut out for a mountain bike: rare pine forests, gentle rises and slopes, picturesque bays, and, the main – plenty of soft steppe roads on which you can let a course vehicle with a stock of food and equipment follow the group in order you could enjoy a bicycle ride light. And, if someone gets tired of treading, he/she may always take breath inside a minivan.

That is why tourists of any training can take part in our travels. It is quite enough to be a healthy and cheerful person, and, of course, to have an idea what a bicycle is.
