Prologue
13km 300m Climbing
Short and Salty
Set in Baška is a short and dynamite Prologue that delivers real mountain biking from the start and showcases exactly what is to be expected over the coming four days. Singletrack is the name of the game on the climbs and descents. While the climbs are steep and demanding, the views on offer over Baška Bay and the surrounding hills are magnificent.

Stage 1
71km 1 750m Climbing
ISLAND KRK
Stage 1 begins where the Prologue ended, Baška Bay, but sets off in the opposite direction. While the hills are where you’re headed, you’ll have enough time to get the blood pumping on the asphalt before it rapidly turns to singletrack, and your chances of overtaking dry up. You can, of course, politely ask the rider in front of you to let you pass, but this is a race after all.

Stage 2
76km 1 250m Climbing
ISLAND RAB
Stage 2 is earmarked as the fastest stage of the race and the kindest to those who prefer open roads to technical trails… but we’d never create a stage without some excitement! Stage 2 is a new route specially created for the 7th edition of 4Islands MTB Croatia and starts from the ferry in Lopar Ferry Port. The stage combines many of the trails from years past with new trails and a finish in the City of Rab

Stage 3
72km 1 690m Climbing
ISLAND CRES
Stage 3 gets underway off the deck of the ferry in Merag. There’s no time to warm up though as the stage heads straight into a climb that gains 300m in altitude. Legs will burn and lungs will scream, but once you’re at the top you’ll encounter a short singletrack into Olive Labyrinth above Cres. The Labyrinth is intertwined with gro and macadam roads and is characterised by the fascinating red earth background.
23 APRIL 2022
Stage 4
40km 900m Climbing
ISLAND LOSINJ
The final Stage of the 2022 4Islands MTB Croatia is set on the most populated island city, Lošinj and you can be sure that many of the 10 000 residents will be cheering you on.
The route for stage 4 begins from the city harbour and heads immediately towards the Čikat peninsula and its labyrinthine sandy trails that are sure to deliver action and excitement for all teams.
