Châtillon | Ride MTB

The Theodul Pass is one of the historic crossings from the Aosta Valley into Valais. Despite the short glacier passage, the route is perfectly feasible by mountain bike - as a two-day tour from Châtillon to Visp with the skillful support of mountain railroads. The tour is an absolute highlight, even if it is not easy logistically.

At the entrance to Valtournenche there are some wonderful, little-known single trails, which can also be combined with the year-round cable car to Chamois.

The Colle di Nana rides from Val d'Ayas into Valtournenche and can be combined into a first-class singletrail tour from Châtillon. There are rarely so many trails, variety and views of the Monte Rosa massif.

Monte Zerbion and Becca d'Aver form the gateway to Valtournenche. Both mountains are suitable as mountain bike destinations, with the Becca d'Aver impressing with its long and varied single trail descent.

The Alp Valmeriana lies somewhat unspectacularly high above Châtillon on the north side of the Aosta Valley. But still waters run deep: the 1400-metre singletrail descent offers the best mountain biking fun - from flowy and fast to tricky and steep.

2170 vertical meters of single trail in one go - the descent from Mont Zerbion to Châtillon in the Aosta Valley belongs in the portfolio of an ambitious and experienced trail rider.
