The Aosta Valley is Italian mountain biking at its wildest—ancient trails, high mountain passes, and long, ridge-to-valley descents through some of the most striking landscapes in the Alps. Over five days, we link remote singletrack with stone-built villages, riding lines shaped by centuries of shepherds and traders rather than trail crews. Expect big valley views, demanding climbs, and descents that don’t quit, balanced out each evening with great food and easy company. We handle the local knowledge and logistics so you can focus on one thing: the ride.
The Aosta Grand Tour is a 7-day mountain biking trip through the Italian Alps, based out of the same hotel in Aosta for most of the week, with one night at a mountain hut at altitude. We ride real alpine terrain—exposed ridgelines, technical rock, forest flow, and riverside singletrack—linked by chairlifts and shuttles that do the climbing for us, so we can focus on descents that run up to 3,500 m (11,483 ft) in a single day. Breakfast and dinner are included throughout, along with a professional MTB guide and all shuttle and lift transport. This is an advanced trip built for experienced riders ready to take on real mountain terrain, not a bike park.

Yes—this is not a beginner-friendly tour. You should have several years of mountain biking experience and feel confident on:
Your guide will adjust the pace and can skip the most exposed lines if needed, but this trip is built for riders who already know how to handle alpine terrain, not those looking to learn.
The Aosta Valley is one of the wildest corners of the Italian Alps for mountain biking—a deep, glacier-carved valley ringed by 4,000-meter peaks, with a trail network shaped by centuries of shepherds, hunters, and traders rather than trail builders. Chairlifts and shuttles give riders access to high alpine terrain without the climbing, so a single day can link ridgeline singletrack, forest flow, and riverside trails that would otherwise take days to reach on pedal power alone.
