Alps Mountain Biking: From Aosta to Zermatt: the Best Singletrack, Enduro and Downhill Trails in the Alps

If you dream of big mountain days, endless singletrack and those huge Alpine views, this guide is going to light you up. Alps Mountain Biking takes you straight into the heart of the western Alps, showing off rocky descents, high‑altitude blasts and hidden ribbons of trail framed by snowy peaks, pine forests and those perfect blue‑sky days. It’s basically a greatest‑hits tour of Alpine singletrack, enduro and downhill riding.

You get the famous spots — Morzine, Chamonix, all the classics — but also the quieter gems like La Plagne, Martigny and Sauze d’Oulx where you can escape the crowds and ride something a bit more wild. Whether you’re using lifts, buses or just your own legs, the book helps you make the most of the huge vertical these mountains offer, with trails for every style and ability.

Written by Samoëns‑based guide Steve Mallett, it’s packed with proper local knowledge: where to ride, where to stay, how to get around and how to squeeze the best out of each area. Add in the stunning photography and you’ve got a guide that doesn’t just help you plan a trip — it makes you want to grab your bike and go right now.

If you’re itching to ditch the concrete resorts and explore the Alps like a local rider, this is the book you want in your pack.
