ABOUT US
Biking Alps: Born on the Trails of the Aosta Valley
Welcome to our world. Biking Alps wasn't born in an office or around a meeting table. It was born from founder Thierry, riding his mountain bike atop a 2,500-meter hill, gazing at the peaks of the Aosta Valley and thinking, "Every true mountain biker should see this place at least once in their life."
We're a team of local riders, certified guides, and chronic lovers of the Alps. We know the Aosta Valley inside and out: from the most hidden singletracks in the larch forests to the lunar scree slopes at high altitude, to the best wineries for a toast at the end of the day.
For us, mountain biking isn't just a sport. It's the perfect way to explore the wilderness and connect with the land.

Our Philosophy: Beyond the Simple "Bike Ride"
When you ride with us, you're not just a customer following a map or GPS track. You're a guest in our home. Whether you choose an epic multi-day crossing, a short tour, or a simple rental, our approach remains the same:
Local Authenticity
We won't take you to tourist traps. We'll recommend the most authentic spots, the most scenic and lesser-known routes. You'll sleep in the mountain huts we frequent, eat Fontina cheese produced in the mountain pastures we pass through, and listen to the stories of those who have lived in these valleys for generations.
Safety and Professionalism
Adventure is beautiful, but the mountains demand respect. Our entire team knows the mountains and their risks inside out and will be able to advise you on the best route, even based on weather conditions. Your only concern will be enjoying the ride.

Founder
Thierry Bianquin
Born in 2003 and raised in the Aosta Valley mountains, specifically in Roisan, after 15 years of competitive biathlon, I decided to fully immerse myself in my greatest passion: mountain biking! In 2021, I opened an e-bike rental in this fantastic location. In 2023, I became a mountain bike guide. With a great spirit of exploration, I've cycled all the trails and roads of this beautiful region, and I've selected the best ones for you!
