The Aosta Valley offers four bike parks equipped with ski lifts spread throughout the region. The slopes of our mountains make the trails very steep, and the enormous elevation changes allow for endless descents.
Choose the bike park that's right for you:
Pila Bike Park
Pila is world-famous for its flat DH trails, dusty corners, and jumps. It hosted a UCI World Cup in 2005 and has hosted several Italian Championships and IXS rounds in its park. Insane fun on any type of gravity-oriented bike, these trails are definitely worth a ride or two if you've never done it before.
La Thuile Bike Park
A breathtaking village nestled just beyond the Mont Blanc range, its picturesque views and tranquil Italian Alpine lifestyle will put you in tune with nature and the rugged mountains that surround you.
The riding reflects this, advertising itself as a "natural bike park." There's not a single rock or root that wasn't placed there by nature; the construction is very minimal. The trails are technical and challenging, fast and rewarding. Served by two chairlifts that take you up to an elevation of 2,200 meters, it's all about epic singletrack, loamy forests, high-octane turns, steep gullies, rocky descents, and off-camber roots.
Cervinia Bike Park
In a unique setting, where green pastures are reflected in the perennial glaciers of the Plateau Rosa, the Matterhorn Bike Park is located, a varied network of trails specifically designed for today's bikers.
Over 100 km of downhill trails, countless walkways and wall rides created by the Matterhorn Bike Patrol, are just some of the features that have made this magnificent entertainment area an irresistible destination for mountain bike lovers from all over the world.
