Finale Ligure, Italy

Ride Level: Blue+ Flow 4 All (We'll also ride a few more challenging trails, but nobody gets left behind!)

Price: €1,050–1,150

Join us for a week of riding in Finale Ligure, one of Europe's most iconic mountain biking destinations. Finale is all about perfectly built trails and endless variety—somewhere between natural singletrack and a huge bike park.

Both analogue and e-bikes are welcome, and bike rental is available locally. If you'd like to climb more under your own power or access some of the less-travelled trails, an e-bike is definitely worth considering.

We'll have five riding days: four in Finale Ligure and one at Nava Freeride. Most of the trails will be Blue, with a handful of Red trails and possibly one or two Black trails during the week. The Black trails are completely optional—you can always skip them or walk the more technical sections. Shuttle uplifts are included on all five riding days.

We'll stay in a bike-friendly apartment in Calice Ligure:

The apartment has three bedrooms. The price is €1,150 with single occupancy or €1,050 per person with twin sharing.

The price does not include travel to and from Finale Ligure or meals.

Finale Ligure is easily reached from the airports of Milan, Turin, or Nice.

My role on this trip is primarily organizational. I've ridden in Finale several times, but I don't know the area well enough to present myself as a local guide.

The plan is to keep the week relaxed and flexible. If you've had enough riding for the day, you're free to head back and unwind—the apartment is conveniently located close to the trails.
Group of 5-7 people.

Tremp enduro weekend (3 days)
Difficulty level: Blue

Probably the best off-season MTB trip.

The area around Tremp is famous for its three completely different types of terrain. The region's signature trails run across spectacular rock slabs and unique clay spines, while the surrounding valleys offer beautiful forest singletrack and higher alpine riding.

During this trip we'll explore the best trails around Tremp, as well as the nearby riding areas of Pont de Suert, Val Fosca, Llavorsí, and Sort.

Bike: E-bike (rental available)
Duration: 3 days
Price: Approximately €590

From the Foothills to the Mountains

I created this trip as a replacement for the Tremp Enduro week to explore a wider range of regions and showcase more of what the Pyrenees have to offer.

Designed for confident Blue+ riders on e-bikes, this trip combines several very different riding areas in a single week. We'll start with easier trails to warm up before heading into the high mountains for alpine singletrack and epic backcountry rides.

E-bike required (rental available).

Day 1–2: Tremp & Lower Pallars – a mix of granite slabs, clay ridges, and flowing singletrack.

Day 3: Ribagorza – smooth forest trails around Pont de Suert.

Transfer to Aínsa.

Day 4: Rest day in Aínsa.

Day 5: French Pyrenees – the famous "Croissant Flow" trails, just an hour from Aínsa.

Day 6: Bielsa – a spectacular alpine epic with incredible views of Monte Perdido. Expect around an hour of hike-a-bike, rewarded with breathtaking scenery and unforgettable descents.

Day 7: Aínsa – we'll finish the week with one of the region's classic rides. Depending on the group, we'll either pedal from town or take a single shuttle to Peña Montañesa before following an adventurous route through Aínsa's world-famous badlands. (Video coming soon.)

Ride Level: Blue+.

We'll ride a couple of easier Red trails during the week, so this trip is designed for confident Blue riders rather than beginners.

Duration: 1 week.

Price: approximately €1,250–1,350

The final part of the "From the Foothills to the Mountains" program

For Spanish residents, I would suggest signing up for only the last three days of the program. Essentially, if you come for three days from May 15-17 and three days from May 29-31, you'll get the full program, but split into two parts, eliminating the need to take a

Blue+ vacation
The cost for three days is approximately half the cost of the full

Tremp. Learn more about the region.

Aran Enduro Week

(this will be the third trip with this program, each time there are small changes to the program, but the essence is the same as before)
The emphasis is on riding.
Analog bikes (but you can also take the train if you want)
. Several epics and many technical cool trails.
Day 1 Tremp
Day 2 Ribagorca
Day 3 Val d'Aran
4 rest
5 Benasque
6 Benasque-Aran transition
Day 7 Val d'Aran
cost approximately 1250-1350 euros

Epic Backcountry Week in the Pyrenees.

The idea is to ride 1-2 trails in the morning, then head out on a long epic with incredible views. This is something you'll remember for a long time!
Electric bikes ( rental )
Regions: Ainsa, Bielsa, Benasque, Aran.
We'll be staying in houses near Ainsa, one night in Benasque, and a house in Aran.
Level: Confident red. Good physical condition.
It will likely be more expensive than the Aran Enduro, but hopefully not much.
