Join a group of outdoorsy women in Verbier and explore one of the best and the largest MTB playgrounds in the Alps. With a dense network of lifts and decades worth of trail creation, one thing is for sure—this place takes mountain biking seriously. You can enjoy the versatility of Verbier’s world-class bike park or hit dozens of trails in the mountain wilderness. Pedal your way through flower-strewn meadows to the soothing sound of cowbells and switch it up with descents along loamy trails with roots beneath your tires—until you finish in a cobblestone street with centuries-old wooden houses. Once you get tired of epic rides with a backdrop of glacier-wrapped mountains, let the expert MTB guide show you the way to the luxurious Verbier chalet—your Swiss MTB holidays have begun!
Paradise for mtb. Very professional riders, excellent food, and you feel the love and passion the owners and the staff have for their clients and mtb. Beautiful place, it is a must visit!. Erick and Jess are very attentive, friendly and you feel this positive energy as soon as you get into their place.
What you get on this adventure:
Mountain bike rentals are available for an added fee of $310.
What’s not included:
The regular Verbier MTB guided adventure, which takes place on July 9th-15th, 2023, is suitable for intermediate riders. This means that you’re good to go if you’ve just started trail mountain riding but have never tested your skills in high-altitude mountains. You should be able to handle all your local loops, control your speed, and do some hilly sections. Intermediate riders should have some experience with different riding locations and mid-level mountains and should be able to ride moderately steep singletrack descents and climbs with some loose rocks and roots, as well as be comfortable with some small unexpected steps and rock gardens.
The advanced Verbier MTB week-long adventure, taking place on September 3rd – 9th and 17th – 23rd, 2023, is suitable for those who love technical sections and have experience in alpine terrain. You should be in full control while riding any kind of singletrack, red runs in the bike park, and technical steep trails with stone drops, rough roots, small drops, and occasional little jumps.
The long-weekend MTB getaway is suitable for both intermediate and advanced riders.
Keep in mind that your guide will follow you every step of the way and give appropriate instruction, adjust the pace/terrain when necessary and make breaks whenever riding becomes too strenuous.
Extensive riding experience is necessary for both the regular and the advanced adventure option. That said, no biking experience in alpine terrain is necessary for the intermediate tour. You should be comfortable with pedaling for around 3 hours a day and crossing up to 30 km (around 20 miles), with an elevation gain of around 600 m (1,970 ft).
For the advanced tour, MTB experience in alpine terrain is necessary. You should be able to ride for 6+ hours in challenging terrain, crossing over 50 km (31 miles), with an elevation gain of 1,600 m (5,250 ft). Keep in mind that you will receive extensive instruction and that your guide will find a balance between “pure” riding and daily skills training. Also, the pace and the terrain can be adjusted if you encounter any difficulties.
For the long-weekend getaway, MTB experience is also necessary, but both intermediate and advanced riders are more than welcome.
