You are here: Home > Holidays > Alpine singletrack week
Six days of the best singletrack cross country riding in the French Alps, we use chair lifts and van support to gain access to fantastic routes that are harder to reach and seldom used. Very comfortable chalet-style accommodation with outstanding food in a beautiful Savoyard village.
On this week we will venture on to some lesser-known trails above the Giffre valley, take you further a field into the rarely-explored Grand Massif, have a day trip to the ever popular Chamonix valley and even show you some of our secret local trails that we ride from our front door.
As the name suggests, the emphasis is on singletrack riding this week and we aim to give you the very best using our local knowledge of the area. All inclusive and fully guided this week is designed to show you the best biking, suited to your needs, in the whole of the Northern French Alps. Read the trip itinerary »
