October is often one of the highlights of the MTB season. While the mountain railways in France and Italy have already shut down, the season continues until the end of October, especially in Switzerland. Here are some shuttle tips for October.

Here are some tips on where you can enjoy the perfect combination of singletrack trails and mountain railways even in October. There’s still a bit of snow at higher elevations, but the next spell of good weather will melt it away again.

Here are the seasonal dates for Ride’s partner regions:
