THE BEST RIDING DESTINATIONS IN EUROPE

 

We’ve been mountain biking since 1993, and know what makes a good bike trip.

The destinations are hand picked and  feature some of the worlds best riding.

Each place is unique, with it’s own character, trails and people.

There is a reason why Ride with the Locals is based out of the Swiss Valais. There are very little places in the world where you find this type of terrain, with a trail network this big.

We offer the following trips in this area:

 

  • Shuttle Days – A full day of uplifts with minimal climbing, maximal trail.
  • Mountain hut mission – 2 days riding and a night in the Alpine hut.
  • Weekend escape – Friday to Sunday accommodation and 2 days guided riding
  • Epic Enduro Weekend – Thursday to Sunday accommodation and 3 days guided riding

The Aosta Valley, home to the Pila Bikepark and EWS stop La Thuile. But it has so much more. Big mountains with low valleys make for long descents. Less steep than Switzerland, you get more flow trails and longer descents.

Slovenia, an overlooked place by many. We’ve been visiting this area since 2008, and it has only gotten better. Expect lush green woods with tiny single tracks snaking through. Highlight: Riding through old mine tunnels is an experience you don’t want to miss.
