Rider Levels & Dual-Van Support

This tour is tailored for both Intermediate and Advanced/Expert mountain bikers. By utilizing two dedicated tour vans, we are able to offer two distinct ride difficulty tiers each day. This ensures you ride at the pace and technical level that suits you best—with total flexibility to adjust your group throughout the week.

Rider Level: Intermediate

• Terrain: Comfortable on all blue-rated singletrack with experience tackling manageable red/black technical features.

• Focus: Sustained alpine descents, flowing natural trails, scenic passes, and building confidence on technical switchbacks and roots. Jump skills are not required; line choice and control are emphasized.

• Van & Guide Support: Supported by Van 1, offering optimized drop-offs, flexible mileage options, and continuous support throughout the day.

• Daily Vertical: 1,000-2,000 feet of ascent with 4,000-6,000 feet of descent.

Rider Level: Advanced/Expert

• Terrain: Fully confident on technical black and double-black terrain (steep red/black European alpine trails).

• Focus: High-speed technical descent, steep rock slabs, tight switchbacks, natural drops, and demanding alpine terrain.

• Van & Guide Support: Supported by Van 2, maximizing vertical descent, targeting high-commitment routes, and providing dedicated shuttling for maximum trail time.

• Daily Vertical: 3,000-5,000 feet of ascent with 5,000-15,000 feet of descent.

Non-Riding Activities

On our Alps trip, there are many non-riding options for riders who want to take the day off, or travel partners who want to spend little to no time on the bike. Costs associated with these activities are not included in the trip price unless the activity is specified as being a part of the itinerary. Some non-riding options are:

• Take the cable-car that holds the record for the world’s highest vertical ascent to the peak of the Aiguille du Midi

• Explore Mer de Glace, the largest glacier in France

• Hike one of the many beautiful trails

• Visit the Alpine Museum

• Get your adrenaline pumping by paragliding

• Eat as many fresh croissants and baguettes as possible
