Two Rider Levels

Rider Level: Advanced

• Riders must be comfortable on all blue-rated trails and at least some black terrain. Advanced jumping skills are not required as the trails we ride are primarily flow, tech, and natural terrain.

Rider Level: Expert - Pro+

• Riders must be comfortable on black and double-black terrain (red and black-rated European trails).

Average Daily Descent

10,000 feet daily; 60,000 feet total

Expect a small amount of pedaling on transfers, but the majority of your time will be descending. This is a lift-assist focused trip, relying primarily on gondolas and chair lifts. It is an incredible mix of bike park flow, technical descents, and backcountry-style adventure rides. The dramatic mountain views will challenge your ability to keep your eyes on the trail. In true European fashion, you will learn how to ride some of the tightest switchbacks and steepest trails yet. Yes, you will need those spare brake pads!

Your Hosts

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
