The Grand Massif truly is a backcountry mountain biking paradise of endless technical and flowing singletrack, high mountain plateaus and canyons.
Rides are ski lift assisted throughout the summer meaning we can ride from 600 - 2500m and take in epic descents up to 18km in length without hours of climbing.
Situated in Samoens (which is hosting the Maxi Avalanche cup in June 2010) and just an hour from Geneva, we are ideally positioned not only for the Grand Massif, but also for Morzine and Les Gets, just 10 mins away over our northern ridgeline. Riding both areas during your stay provides an excellent mix of the backcountry wilderness of the Massif and the Portes du Soleil's finest man made trails. All rides finish (with a huge descent) at the bike alp chalet
Our type of riding would generally be considered 'all mountain' though we'd prefer not to categorize as pretty much everything's on offer - eg: a typical ride for us would involve plenty of ski lifts, climbs, traverses and huge descents finished with a couple hours in the local jump park! Basically if you enjoy biking in stunning surroundings - you won't be disappointed..
A week's stay with us would include 4 -5 accompanied rides with one free day. Long weekends are also welcome, in which case we'll discuss how much riding we can get in during your stay.
