Martigny | Ride MTB

Chamonix is known for its magnificent scenery thanks to the Monta Blanc massif. One of the most impressive places is the Tête de Balme on the Swiss border. A highlight for mountain bikers thanks to the long descent down to Martigny.

Lac d'Emosson is nestled in fantastic high alpine surroundings. The ascent of the Cheval Blanc makes for a challenging but exceptionally impressive tour starting in Martigny.

The Haute Cime (3258 meters above sea level) is the highest point of the famous Dents du Midi high above Martigny and a well-known alpine hiking route. The mountain is considered an insider tip among mountain bikers, but riders with excellent riding skills and a flair for bike mountaineering will get their money's worth here. Partly because of the 3000-metre descent.

The Col du Jorat lies high above Martigny at the foot of the Dents du Midi. It is a well-known destination for less technically experienced mountain bikers who have plenty of strength in their thighs. The ascent road is mercilessly steep.

The Pierre Avoi is the name of the rock tower that stands high above Verbier at the entrance to the Val de Bagnes. It is the starting point of the fantastic singletrail descent to Martigny.

The Mont de l'Arpille is an exclusive panoramic mountain high above Martigny with a perfect view of the Mont Blanc massif. The ascent is also worthwhile on a mountain bike because of the descent on the north side.

At the point where the cog railroad from Martigny struggles up the wild valley and the Trient stream has carved a deep gorge into the landscape, you will find one of the most extraordinary mountain bike trails with the Route des diligences at the end. The historic stagecoach route winds its way down into the valley with 43 bends.

The circumnavigation of Mont Blanc is one of the most impressive multi-day tours in the Alps. The route is characterized by the unique backdrop of the Mont Blanc massif with its huge rock towers and imposing glaciers.
