Trip Details

Why the Alps?

• Classic culture of the French with Gallic history added into the outdoor and mountainous spirit of the Alps.

• Stunning scenery in the valley, surrounded by dramatic mountains and the rustic town.

• Variety of trails will keep you coming back. There are countless riding zones in and around the valley, it would take the whole summer to tap into them all!

• Non-riders are welcome to join us for the week when accompanying a rider (40% off rider price, plus both qualify for shared occupancy pricing)

What’s Included?

• Lodging in our beautiful chalets.

• Complimentary breakfast every morning by your local hosts in-house, plus daily ride snacks.

• 3 Group Dinners: On arrival day, midweek dinner out (typically a pizza party in Italy,) and a group BBQ dinner on the last night.

• Daily guided rides in the French, Swiss, and Italian Alps with our Fluidride French-Certified Guides.

NEW FOR 2024!!

• Advanced-Intermediate Riders: We are now offering an option for advanced-intermediate riders to join us! All of our riding locations have a wide variety of terrain, so we will be able to split the group based on riding level and interests. This will allow more riders to experience the magic of the Alps without feeling like they’re in over their head!

• 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’re riding are primarily flow, tech, and natural terrain.

More Information

Rider Level: Intermediate +; Advanced

Average Daily Descent:

10,000 feet

Anticipated Total Descent:

60,000 feet

Terrain: Technical and Flow

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!

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
