Why here
A house built by riders, for riders
We opened the Exo'base because our riders were sleeping far from the start, in hotels where the bike spends the night outside. It is the base camp of our rides: you sleep among riders who set off together the next morning, and the timings follow the bike.
Your bike sleeps dry and safe
A locked room, a workshop with a repair stand, tools and somewhere to wash. You leave in the morning with a clean, set-up bike, not a chain full of mud.
Where the shuttles start
The Exo'bus leaves from here. No dawn drive, no parking to find: you come down for coffee and load the bike.
The guide sleeps next door
Christian lives here. Tomorrow's plan gets decided at the table, according to the weather and what the group feels like, and he knows every trail in the valley.
Where you sleep
The rooms
Simple, comfortable rooms with a view over the valley. The rate is the same everywhere: 50 CHF per person per night, whichever room you take.
Family room
For a family or a group of friends riding together, with room for everyone's kit.
50 CHF
per person per night
The whole house
The entire Exo'base for your group, with the kitchen, the terrace and the workshop. The format for trips and club outings.

Night, breakfast and dinner
Nothing is imposed
Book my room
You can take just the night and eat in the village, or take everything and think about nothing. Dinner is booked the day before or on arrival, and is served when the group comes back from the trail, not at 7 pm sharp.

Getting here and staying
Orsières, and around
How to get here
By train to Martigny, then Orsières on the Saint-Bernard line: the stop is a few minutes' walk away. By car on the A9, Martigny exit, then 25 minutes. Geneva and its airport are about 1 hr 30 away. Transfer from the station possible on request.
What is around
The val Ferret and the val d'Entremont, Verbier about thirty minutes away, the Grand-Saint-Bernard tunnel and Italy about twenty. Shops, a bakery and restaurants in the village.
How many nights
One night before a shuttle day, two for a weekend, the whole week for a trip. We set the timings around your ride, not the other way round.
Before you book
Frequently asked questions
Who sleeps at the Exo'base?
Mostly people riding with us: a shuttle day, a tour, a course or a trip. It is not a passing hotel but the base camp of our rides, which is what lets us keep a group feel and set the timings around the bike. So the simplest is to book your ride, then your room. And if you are riding in the valley without us, write to us and we will see.
Can I book a night before or after my ride?
Yes, and it is a good idea: arriving the evening before saves the early-morning drive, and staying the following night lets you finish the day quietly. Say so in your request.
What does the night include?
The room, bed linen and towels, access to the bike room, the workshop, the washing machine and the parking. Homemade breakfast and dinner are optional and come on top of the night.
Do I have to take the meals?
No, nothing is imposed. Many take breakfast, useful before a shuttle day, and eat in the village in the evening. Others take everything. Dinner is booked the day before or on arrival.
Where do I put my bike?
In the locked room, under cover and under key. The workshop with a stand and tools is at your disposal, as is a wash station.
Can I come with my family, including non-riders?
Yes. The village, the valleys and the walking trails keep non-riders busy, and Verbier is about thirty minutes away.
How do I book and pay?
Through the form on this page or by phone. We confirm availability, then agree the payment with you depending on the length of the stay.
Are pets allowed?
On request: tell us when you book, with the animal and its size.
