During the Tour du Mont Blanc we stay in a mix of hotels, guest houses or mountains huts. The exact accommodations vary depending on availability and the time of the year. There is also an option to upgrade your accommodation for most locations during the tour if you prefer to stay in slightly higher-end accommodation.
Upon arrival to Chamonix you will be met by a LeRipp representative to greet you. You will have time to settle in and make sure you have everything for the first day of riding. In the evening, we will meet for a drink and go through the week's agenda.
The first day we normally start riding from Chamonix by gently pedalling along the valley towards Le Tour. From here we will ride a classic Swiss single track down to Chatelard, where we will be picked-up by the van and head up to the Emosson dam. From there it's a technical start before we reach the flowy trails down to Martigny. Finally we will head in the direction of Col Grand St Bernard but not before squeezing in one last descent.
The first trail starts right outside the hotel and takes us down towards Aosta in Italy. From here we will start the first big climb of the week to the Col at nearly 3,000m. From here, a high alpine single track awaits us all the way down to Courmayeur where we will stop for gelato and beer. Tonight we will be staying overnight in Aosta.
Today is the big traverse day. We will be leaving Italy and pedaling back to France, via another high Col at nearly 3,000m high. The traverse contains a mix of riding and pushing our way to the top. From here we will be descending down to Bourg Saint Maurice and continue to Beaufort, where you will be staying the night.
A quick warm up lap or two in Beaufort before shuttling up to Col Du Joly, where we will be riding down to Les Contamines. From here we will head off to ride some classic local Chamonix trails, ending the trip with some apres-bike drinks in the centre of town! Stay one final night in Chamonix.
Wind up the trip, pack your bags and head back to the airport with big smiles on your face.
To get the the maximum out of your mountain biking experience we recommend being an advanced to expert mountain biker. However, we can still accommodate riders that are intermediate for this trip with some minor adjustments to the itinerary.
For Advanced rider all trails are rideable and for intermediate there are a few places where you might prefer to push the bike down for a short bit. There are plenty of different options so depending on the level of your group we will adjust the itinerary accordingly.
Roots, rocks, drops and tight switchbacks are no match for you even in steep and exposed terrain. You feel confident in riding longer trails with sustained technical features as well as handling some exposed sections with no-fall zones.
You can pedal uphill 1 hour per day and climb 300m during consecutive days riding. You don't mind steep uphill climbs for about 10 to 15 minutes at the time. Downhill you happily ride up to 3000 verticals per day. You exercise on average 2 times per week.
