More Information

 

Rider Levels & Dual-Van Support

This tour is tailored for both Intermediate and Advanced to Expert/Pro+ 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.

Rider Level: Advanced to Expert / Pro+

  • 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.

Average Daily Descent

10,000 feet daily; 60,000 feet total

Expect minimal pedaling on transfers, with the majority of your time spent descending. This lift-assisted trip relies primarily on gondolas and chair lifts, offering an incredible mix of bike park flow, technical descents, and backcountry-style adventure rides. The dramatic mountain views might just challenge your ability to keep your eyes on the trail. In true European fashion, you'll tackle some of the tightest switchbacks and steepest trails yet. And yes—you’ll definitely need those spare brake pads!
