Guided MTB enduro shuttle day in the Upper Valais 3/4: the wild valleys, over 5'000 m of descent

Generally between six and ten riders: enough for the atmosphere, few enough for the rotations to stay smooth and the group to ride together.

This day is ridden on varied alpine singletracks, with sustained gradient, roots and rock: it takes an advanced level and ease on technical terrain. New to shuttles, or after more flowing trails? Have a look at our level 2/4 shuttle days.

Yes, e-bikes are welcome. What matters most: a full-suspension bike, 150 to 180 mm of travel, well serviced, with a charged battery. As the van does the climbing, MTBs and e-bikes ride together without any problem.

Yes, MTB or e-bike rental and protection are offered as options in the registration form. Give us your size, we take care of the rest.

Yes: with the Exo'Pass, you buy ten shuttle days and only pay for eight, so two days are on us. It's valid on all our shuttle days in the Valais, whatever the level, and takes two minutes to activate online.

A local professional MTB instructor and guide, Swiss Cycling certified, who has been running these shuttle days since 2010 and knows every trail like the back of his hand. He rides with you from the first to the last run, runs the group smoothly for maximum rhythm and gladly shares riding tips.

He is also an active racer, winner of major international enduro mountain bike races in recent seasons: you're in good hands.

Riders aged 20 to 65, men and women, with very varied profiles. What matters: having the technical level required for the day and the desire to ride hard in good company.

At least five long runs and over 5'000 m of vertical drop, on routes made up of 99 % trails: long fast forest sections, banked corners and more technical passages, with a spot chosen to suit the day's conditions.

No: we meet the Exo'bus at every rotation and for the lunch break, so you can leave your packed lunch and the non-essentials in it and ride with the minimum, protection included.

You can easily skip a run and rest in the van for one rotation, then set off again with the group on the next one.

An enduro MTB or e-bike in good condition, 150 to 180 mm of travel, with protection: helmet, knee pads, long-finger gloves, back protector. The full list is in the gear tab.

The spots are chosen the day before according to the forecast, and the Valais often has a dry valley to offer. If the day looks really bad, it's postponed at no cost to you.

Yes, in both formats. With a guide, you get exactly what makes our open days good: he picks the trails according to the conditions and the group's level, he manages the group dynamic, which really matters when riders don't know each other and don't all have the same level, and he deals with whatever comes up, mechanicals as well as crashes. That's not for the participants to handle.

A guideless option exists, but the experience isn't the same: it's meant above all for locals who already know the trails well, along with the sensitive points on certain paths, slowing down, erosion or conflicts with other users. For everyone else, we recommend the guided day.
