Breathtaking MTB experience from hut to hut
Are you a group of passionate bike buddies looking for an extraordinary tour? This is the ultimate experience for you!
The journey starts in Aosta on the first morning for a briefing over coffee, before transferring to the start of the trail in our shuttle.
From there you’ll have three days of riding, staying mostly at high altitude until descending back to Aosta at the end of day three. At the end of each day, you’ll arrive at a mountain hut (rifugio) for a drink as the sun sets. A hot shower and dinner refuels you for the next day.
Waking up in the mountains as the sun rises on a new day’s riding is an incredible experience!
Consider the temperature differences in high altitudes and that the weather can suddenly change. You’ll need to carry all personal stuff with you and you can expect a good amount of pedaling uphill as well as awesome descents on the way back down!
3 dates have been pre-defined for in July, August and September. Safe the date and book this experience with your friends before it’s sold out!
Or request the tour for an alternative date upon availability from July to September.
This trip is for experienced bikers, who have a good command of their bikes and a good fitness level to pedal 5-6 hours a day.
