Day 1 (Saturday): Arrive in Geneva and meet your EpicQuest guide for the 90-minute private van transfer to verbier. Check into your chalet, unpack and assemble bikes, or get fitted for your demo bike for the week. Time permitting, take a run off the Verbier gondola to get a look at some of the terrain we’ll be accessing. Dinner in chalet.

Day 2 (Sunday): We’ll utilize the Verbier lift system for some classic descents into the Val de Bagnes. Downhill courses, North Shore, or classic alpine singletrack – Verbier has it all. Lunch at an on-mountain hut, après beers and dinner in town.

Day 3 (Monday): Back up the lifts to Verbier, but this time a long descent off the back to the Roman town or Martigny. One of the smoothest descents in the Rhone Valley, before winding up on a train ride back home. Lunch on-mountain, Dinner in Verbier.

Day 4 (Tuesday): We’ll head to the village of Dorenaz for some epic freeriding. Neither a resort or a well-known bike destination, these trails have been discovered by the local riders who use the tram that accesses the high-mountain village to the best potential. Steep descents on one side, long flowy singletrack off the other, winding up in the vineyards of Fully. Lunch in a cozy café along the Rhone. Massage in the chalet. Dinner in Verbier.

Day 5 (Wednesday): We’ll head further up the Rhône to Sierre, to ride the trails at Crans-Montana ski resort. With a view across the valle of the Pennine Alps, Crans has some of the smoothest tracks in the area. North-Shore features, buttery berms, and mossy forest trails all make Crans one of our favorite spots. And at the end of the day, we’ll drop all the way to Sierre, winding through the vineyards for a magical sunset run. Dinner in Sierre.

Day 6 (Thursday): Today, we’ll do a full circuit of the Verbier area, the Tour de Mont Fort. Using all of the major lifts in the 4 Vallées area, we’ll cover a lot of ground today. Lunch at the Cabane Mont Fort, one of the stops along the Haute Route, before dropping all the way down to the Valley floor, a 5000’ descent. Après in Le Châble, and dinner at the chalet.

Day 7 (Friday): Back to Sierre to ride in the Val d’Anniviers. St. Luc has an amazing network of DH tracks, which we’ll ride off the finicular in the morning. Then, after lunch, we’ll head across to Chandolin for the one of the best descents in the Rhône Valley, all the way down to Sierre. Back to Verbier. Dinner in Le Châble.

Day 8 (Saturday): For the last day of your Rhône Valley adventure, we’ll head toward Lake Geneva for one last epic ride. After packing and checking out of the Chalet, we’ll head to either Bex or Montreaux for a train-accessed downhill that you’ll never forget. After, we’ll head to the world heritage Lavaux area for a private wine tasting dinner and a night in a hotel surrounded by vineyards before you head home.
