This incredible week allows us to maximize descents by using shuttles while exploring the Hautes Alpes
If you love riding long, technical, and flowy trails in the mountains and want to experience the best that La Grave and the surrounding area has to offer, then this is the week for you. Basing in La Grave for the week, we will use a shuttle to gain the majority of the climbs to maximize the descending each day, but will also continue further with our legs some days to enjoy hidden and epic descents. The options in our mountains are endless with a shuttle assist and a bit of human power too!
