Sportswoman, get ready to represent Team Girl on an electric mountain bike tour of Italy.
We'll take you for 3 days to discover All-Mountain mountain biking , immersing you in the heart of Italy's Aosta Valley, descending incredible spots on Mont Belvédère or Rosière, and finishing in style at the QC thermes de Saint-Didier.
You can learn the basics ofe-MTB while enjoying magnificent scenery
You start your adventure this morning at the Boton d'or hotel in La Thuile, meeting your Captain Rémi, who's waiting for you over coffee to chat and meet everyone. He briefs you on the trip and the technical points, as well as on the equipment you'll need and how the E-bike works and how to handle it.
You leave the hotel for a fun training area. You do a small workshop with exercises in position, braking, turns, walking and balance, to get the technique down and know how to make a few small adjustments to your e-bike before starting your ascent. Then you begin a short loop of 1000D+ on the heights of La Thuile to reach the Lac d'Arpy, which is your goal for the day (don't panic, it's electric ;)).
You have a nice picnic by the lake and start with a long climb up a forest track before descending on a fun singletrack.
From the Col d'Arpy, a lovely forest trail takes you to the mountain lake, where you can enjoy a swim.
The return journey is on mountain bike trails and part road to the village of La Thuile, where dinner awaits before a well-deserved night's sleep.
Accommodation: Boton d'or (or similar)
Meals included: lunch, dinner
Mountain biking: approx. 28km - 1000m D+/1000 D-
Day 2
Aosta Valley
E-Bike
1400mD+ climb
On the heights of La Rosière
You start your day with breakfast and a loaded bike, and set off today for a long day's ride to a new pass.
Depending on the date of your stay, Rémi has created different itineraries for you.
If you're coming in August, you leave from the village of La Thuile with the ski lifts, via Mont Belvédère to the La Rosière ski area. From there, you'll head for the Col du Petit Saint Bernard, where you'll eat in a charming hospice, before getting back in the saddle for the return to La Thuile (16.7 km, 680 m D+, 921 m D-).
Otherwise you take almost the same itinerary, but you don't go as far as La Rosière because you don't take the lifts. You do, however, go as far as the Col du Petit Saint Bernard for a bite to eat.

Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner
Mountain bike: approx. 27km - 1400m D+/2200 D-

After the effort, the comfort!
On this last day, it's an early morning outing and you climb a hair higher.
for a final 3h00 loop on the trails facing Mont-Blanc and glaciers. You load your bike onto the trailer, and set off with your teammates for Pré Saint Didier by bus and/or car.
We set off from the Pré Saint-Didier thermal baths parking lot, then head up the valley to Courmayeur via the Plan Chécrouit and the Combal refuge to start the day's ascent on a 4×4 track to the tête de Neyron.
You stop for 2 minutes with a cappuccino at the Maison Vieille refuge, where you have a spectacular view of the Mont Blanc massif.
Depending on the level of the group, you and Team Girl have two options. Either take a nice descent on singletrack with a few technical sections, or opt for a rather wide 4×4 trail.
You finish in the Val Veny valley, then head as close as possible to the Miage glacier, to the Combal refuge, where you can contemplate the reflections of the peaks in the lake.
In the afternoon, you return to Pré Saint Didier. Then you finish in style with a relaxing moment with your daughter (and Rémi) at the QC Thermes in Saint Didier. Rémi says goodbye to you in front of the QC Thermes, then you take the bus back to La Thuile, where the end of your stay is announced for 5pm. Time to say goodbye to everyone.
Meals included: breakfast, lunch
Mountain bike: approx. 34km - 1480m D+/1480 D-
This program is subject to change according to weather conditions, fitness levels and participants' abilities. The guide is responsible for decision-making and will adapt the program to ensure you have the best possible experience.
We're a young agency set up by 2 Guillaume and 1 Axel. We launched the project in 2020, just before the covid. That's what we call having a good nose.
Simply put, we live, eat and sleep outdoors. Axel has more gear than an aircraft carrier, Guillaume n°1 sleeps in his harness, and Guillaume n°2 is somewhere between Jack Sparrow and Jacques Cousteau.
Our ambition has always been to connect outdoor sports enthusiasts with manufacturers' brands on genuine, authentic trips. This allows you to benefit from quality equipment, brand athletes who come to share their experience, and all this on an adventure where you evolve and progress.
We're delighted to be able to imagine these unique stays and share them with you with passion.
