Summer Cycling and MTB Holidays

Mountain Biking trails and the Verbier Bike Park are renowned! Ever evolving, the new Chôtotai flow trail is open in La Tzoumaz, the inauguration took place on 6/7th July 2019 It’s a new blue flow trail, everyone loves it from beginners, improvers and those with more experience too, Epic fun!

Enduro One of the fastest growing biking activities.  There are hundreds of kilometres available in the La Tzoumaz/Verbier area.  To really make the most of it we recommend booking a guide to explore the area, who will adapt the routes to best suit your level.  Olivier at Backside Guiding is a licensed MTB guide, use the link for full information. David Perraudin is offering MTB initiation at 6pm on Wednesdays for small groups.

Rental MTB and E-bikes available at Perraudin Sports, the Tshop La Tzoumaz and Backside Guiding

***VIP Pass*** Play again and again and again ! All visitors to La Tzoumaz are required to pay tourist tax (included in the cost of your holiday when staying on a half board basis at Chalet La Luge) and in return you receive your VIP Pass, which gives free pedestrian access to the lifts (summer only) 50% reduction with your bike and various other discounts on activities etc. More info here : VIP pass
The lift system is open all summer for biking in Verbier but La Tzoumaz has a shorter season, but don’t let that put you off – we include a daily lift up to the top in our vehicle & trailer which gets you into the lift system and some of the best single track ever!!!

Verbier Bike Park
We can arrange support vehicles and guides for both road and MTB to let you experience the best the area has to offer.
Alternatively if you would like to ride in the area independently we can point you in the direction of some brilliant rides – we have plenty of electronic routes to share with you from our own experience.

Road biking in the Alps can be somewhat demanding. But with the Rhone valley below us, which is basically as flat as a pancake thanks to the glacier which carved it out millenia ago, you can mix and match: a day of climbing to a fabulous col, or a day of flat, speeding through the vineyards and fruit orchards, or a bit of both – the scenery is spectacular no matter what altitude.
Considerate car drivers, cycle lanes on most of the main roads, and pretty much car-free riding through the vines, orchards and alongside the Rhone river.  The roads around Verbier and La Tzoumaz are often part of the Tour de France, Tour de Suisse and Tour de Romandie but they can be tackled by mere mortals as well as professionals!  In 2016 the 17th stage TdF had a stage finish in Finhaut/Emosson, it was a spectacular location and race!
Sometimes we have the pros using the hill from Riddes to La Tzoumaz as a training route – it’s the same length and vertical gain as Alpe d’Huez, just not quite so many hairpin corners! 

Secure bike storage, washing facilities, workshop stand and tools for your use.

Travelling with your bike:
Flying: Swiss Air and BA don’t charge extra if the weight comes in under your allowance, but rules change regularly so please check. You may also find flights to Sion, 30 minutes from our door.
