Mountain Biking through the alps
Mountain Biking through the alps

For this epic trip, WildBike whisks you away to a trio of MTB haven nations in our new Alps Enduro Safari, with Switzerland, Italy and France on the agenda this time around. Starting off in Verbier, highlights include the natural Swiss switchbacks and the epic descent of the col du Miel as well as a day on the high ridgelines above Martigny. Next, we head to Italy! Pila is right at the heart of the action in the Aosta Vally, laden with natural bike park trails and the magnificent Couis Ridge, followed by a 1700m rollercoaster descent back down to the valley floor.

Finally, we’ll venture into France and the Alpine resort of Les Arcs, famed for the Trans Savoie enduro race. Les Arcs never disappoints with its techy alpine trails such as Woodstock, Axewound, Grannie’s Garden and Black 8, running into the tree line where fast singletrack takes over before the final steep plummet back to our park-side campsite.

Lifts will be our main source of elevation but some of the very best descents are only accessible with a bit of pedalling. Trust us, it’s worth the effort!

Your Alps Enduro Safari Accommodation

On this Alps mountain biking holiday we will be staying at smart, fully equipped and impeccably clean campsites at Val de Bagnes, Aosta and Bourg St Maurice, all just a few short pedal strokes from their lift stations. We provide quality tents which are made of waterproof, heat reflective blackout material for a long, comfortable night’s sleep, as well as quality mattresses. You will have a tent to yourself unless you want to share. We have plenty of shelter and seating for everybody in our specially converted racevan and gazebos. All you need is a sleeping bag and pillow! All in all, a perfect Enduro rider’s set-up!

Safari Transport

You and your bike will be transferred from Geneva airport and between our 3 destinations in either our specially converted MTB racevan or the WildBike estate car. Both have a fork mounted clamping rack system to convey your pride and joy in complete security and are both air-conditioned and seat belted for a total of 8 guests.

Is it for me?

This is a demanding trip on you and your bike! You will need to be a fit, adventurous and technically competent rider. The riding in places will be loose, rocky, rooty, very steep and/or exposed, although there will be few, if any, non-rollable drops. We recommend a bike with tough rims, at least 2.3” tyres, slack angles and 140+ forks.

As a guide, if you are comfortable with big days out in British mountains in technical terrain, or maybe you have raced a few big UK Enduros, or maybe you’ve done some riding in the Alps already, you will absolutely love the variety of this Alps guided MTB holiday!
