Enduro

Enduro riding is the essence of riding here in La Grave and our neighboring trails. Our descents are technical and unique as we travel through alpine and forested terrain with views of glaciers and towering mountain faces. With the assistance of a shuttle, we will maximize the descending for the day. Depending on the trail and the chosen options, we might pedal or carry our bikes throughout the day to reach the top of certain trails, but the idea is to maximize gravity within a mountain experience.
