Rewind the clock to understand why our biking terrain is world class. Props to the military and their fort construction, with were very prominent until the 2000s. Briançon is classified as a UNESCO Heritage Site thanks to its enormous network of fortifications. Over the centuries, these sites gave birth to beautiful forest fire trails and numerous single tracks that people used to and from the forts. Add to this an abounding agricultural component since the 17th century. Men and women split their time between the high-altitude mountain pastures and the villages down in the valley. Over time these paths become perfect for mountain biking. In other words, a mountain biker’s paradise. The climbs are mostly on beautiful forest trails, sometimes on mountain roads, sometimes on uphill singletracks but each time we reach our target, it’s the descents that will remain engraved in your memories as a rider Our idea of All-Mountain is to combine physical fitness and enjoyment. Of course, there will be tough climbs, fatigue, hike-a-bike sections…etc. You can expect between 1200 and 2100 meters of uphill per day. But each time your efforts will be rewarded with stunning views, breathtaking scenery, orgasmic singletrack descents, plus a guide and the best ambiance. An incredible mountain biking experience!!! * For lunch, several options are available depending on your choice, location and season. If you choose the all-inclusive formula, lunch is provided. If not, it may be possible to stop at your lodging option or picnic; all subject to the day’s agenda.
