NEW PROGRAM STARTING IN 2025 REGISTRATIONS OPEN

La Thuile MTB: panoramic ride at the foot of Mont Blanc.

Two days of excitement and true MTB adventure on the single tracks of LA THUILE BIKE WORLD and surrounding trails in the highest Alps between Valle d'Aosta and France. On the first day, the journey will form a loop between La Thuile and La Rosière in France, crossing the wild Col de la Seigne at 2,500 meters, right at the foot of Mont Blanc. The return will pass through the Col du Petit Saint-Bernard, traversing pastures, lakes, and forests in a uniquely high-alpine setting. The second day offers a shorter tour that requires good riding technique to reach Lake Arpy, followed by an exhilarating ride back to La Thuile on magnificent single tracks. Suitable both for well-trained riders using traditional MTBs and for those opting for E-MTBs.
