Your guide on this ride
Christian
Swiss Cycling certified MTB guide and instructor · founder of Exoride
Chris has been riding mountain bikes intensively since 1989 and has been a certified Swiss Cycling MTB guide since 2010. Founder of Exoride. He lives his passion for riding every day, not just on paper.
As a direct neighbor of the Aosta Valley, he's ridden the trails from La Thuile to Châtillon season after season, and knows every corner of this cross-border playground between Switzerland and Italy. This intimate knowledge of the terrain lets him pick out the best singletracks, the most stunning panoramas, and the climbs that are truly worth the pedal strokes.
Chris loves the region as much on the bike as at the table, and he also knows the best spots and products behind Aosta Valley's gastronomic reputation: cheese, ham, polenta, fontina, to keep the pleasure of the day going right through to dinner.
With Chris, you're not just following a route: you get to enjoy his local perspective for an authentic e-bike experience, blending trails and flavors, tailor-made and unforgettable.

The levels, made clear
First tracks
Wide paths, rolling doubletrack, the odd loose rock. MTB without traps, to build pleasure and confidence.
You'll relate if
- comfortable on gravel and forest roads
- the word singletrack intrigues you more than it speaks to you
- you are discovering braking on loose ground
Singletrack bliss
Narrow but flowing trails: moderate roots and rocks, wide switchbacks, a few spots where you pick your line.
You'll relate if
- you ride singletrack regularly and enjoy it
- tight switchbacks still make you dab a foot sometimes
- you brake hard without locking up in the rocks
Technical ground
Rock gardens, steps, tight switchbacks, off-camber: the terrain demands clean lines and active riding.
You'll relate if
- tight switchbacks without dabbing, almost
- 30-40 cm steps do not stop you
- you read the trail several metres ahead
Committed
High mountain, exposed sections, big steps: places where mistakes cost, precise riding is mandatory.
You'll relate if
- you ride what many carry
- exposure does not cloud your judgement
- you stay in control on the steep even when tired
Easy
Short outing, minimal climbing: shuttles or lifts do the work, frequent breaks.
You'll relate if
- 2-3 h out
- under 300 m of climbing
- no training required
On an e-bike, one physical grade lower is often enough: ask us.
Active
Half to full mellow day: we pedal, but the pace leaves time for the view.
You'll relate if
- 3-5 h out
- 300-700 m of climbing
- occasional exercise is enough
On an e-bike, one physical grade lower is often enough: ask us.
Sporty
A proper MTB day: hours in the saddle, real climbing, punchy sections. You need juice, not a palmares.
You'll relate if
- full day, 5-7 h including breaks
- 800-1'200 m of climbing
- regular sport, endurance follows
On an e-bike, one physical grade lower is often enough: ask us.
Enduring
Big days or back-to-backs: climbing stacks up and the pace stays high.
You'll relate if
- 1'500 m+ of climbing, or several days in a row
- regular training
- fast recovery is part of the game
On an e-bike, one physical grade lower is often enough: ask us.
Between two grades? Halves (2.5) exist: aim higher if you are fit, lower if you are coming back.
