If you love the freedom of riding at your own pace but want the ease of an expertly planned trip, our self-guided MTB holidays are for you. Over five or seven nights, you’ll ride through three incredible countries—Italy, Switzerland, and Austria—on a route packed with epic descents, flowing singletrack, and breathtaking Alpine views.
We offer two route options to match your riding style each day. Route A is designed for experienced riders who thrive on technical descents and big mountain challenges, while Route B offers an exciting but slightly less demanding adventure. The best part? You don’t have to commit to just one—you can choose your route daily, tailoring the trip to your energy levels and riding preferences. Whichever you choose, we take care of everything—luggage transfers, GPX routes, top trail recommendations, and local support—so you can focus on the ride. On our 7-night trip, you’ll be based in Livigno before the three-day ride, giving you time to adjust to the altitude. You’ll also have the chance to enjoy non-biking activities like hiking, wine tasting, and lake adventures. This is the ultimate MTB adventure for those who want to explore the Alps without the hassle of logistics. Are you ready to ride across three countries in one unforgettable trip? Let’s make it happen! |

Pick your route depending on your ability
|
Route A
Suitable for very strong riders, with a good off road biking technique - it's tough! With 7,300m in altitude and 230km of riding is ideal for very strong riders who are in good to excellent physical condition and above all have good off road skills and like the thrill of pure back country riding. This is the toughest and recommended for riders in good shape (although you not do have to be a Superman/woman) but the elevation and length of riding is 6743 meters elevation and 198 km over 4 days. Of course you have the choice each day as to which route you want to take so you have choose the easier option on some days if you wish, as the start and arrival points are the same. |
|
Route B
A more gentle route - suitable for riders that regularly ride but don't feel confident with large drop offs and jumps. A less intense option but still fun and challenging. With slightly less altitude of 5,000m to climb and 175km of riding it is suitable for those who regularly ride and are physically fit. Route B is the easier version of the Free to Roam Tour. This option is still not easy and not for unfit to riders with no off road experience. You have to ride 168 km and climb 5250 metres over 4 days but this route is more accessible than Route B. We will transport you to your first hotel from the airport and then move you luggage each day while you're out riding. |
Weather conditions are also important, if you ride your Free to Roam Tour on sunny days it will be very different then riding a stage with rain or cold wind.
Self Guided Mountain Biking Holidays through Austria, Switzerland and Italy via the Alps
Below are the details of the trip through the three countries. But as part of a 5 or 7 day trip, you will also have time to ride in Livigno and take in the bike park should you wish. Most choose to do this before their tour to gain experience of the altitude and trails, but depending on your preference we can make this work as you wish.
