Forest tracks, mountain paths and quiet village roads make both mountains great for mountain biking. On Taygetos there is a marked route from Taygeti to the Magganiari spring via Lakkomata, and many hiking trails can also be ridden.
On Parnon, Karyes has four marked forest routes and has hosted the Greek mountain-bike championship and international UCI races. Vamvakou has three routes (6.3, 7.2 and 12 km) for experienced riders, and Tsintzina two long loops of 38 and 48 km through thick fir forest.
