Mountain Biking Holiday in Switzerland
Switzerland is a place with gigantic mountains, stunning views and a network of lifts and trails like nowhere on the planet. It's just as you'd imagine, but better. Big Mountain is the pioneer of DH rides in this dreamy mountain bike destination. Each year we uncover more nuggets that we can't wait to show you. No matter if you are a seasoned European traveler or a first-timer in the Alps, join us for the downhill riding adventure of a lifetime.
Alpenrock: Downhill Mountain Biking
This is the ultimate DH trip. Out of the gate we shuttle up a quiver of unknown descents in the Verbier area before riding the bike park. Then it's off to Italy for a day of lifts and then more unknown backcountry descents further up the Rhone Valley. You'll ride trails that many locals don't know about; The Brazillian, Rolling Orgy, Medieval Flow and Goldilocks. Finally we wrap up the trip in Zermatt, with lift-accessed riding that's comparable to Mavericks for surfers or Alaska for skiers. We'll have days with 20,000+ feet of descending and might even hit more than 100,000 vertical feet of descending over the week! Alpenrock will take you to another level.
