The Chôtatai Flow Trail is loads of fun and is easily accessed from Verbier but it isn't totally clear on the trail maps how to get there and back. From Verbier town centre, you could choose to cycle up the roads to the top of the Savoleyres lift to access the start of the trail....

Drop Dead Gorgeous. Despite being inbounds of the ski resort this trail really feels out there. With the vertignous walls of Bec des Rosses, Mt Gele and the 3 finger couloirs above you with Mt Fort in the distance you'll feel very out of bounds....

Starting down the face that acts as a semi off piste run in the winter you'll quickly be intensely focused. Off camber, rocks and and ever twisting but straight nature. No specific technicalities other than its narrow and sunken character....

The Rodze Trail is one of the highest elevation trails in the Verbier Bike Park. It begins from the top of Fontanet, and even if you begin in the village of Verbier, it will require a two-lift combination to reach it....

This ride starts off as a rather wonderful woodland trail. It's playful, mild-mannered, and pleasant. You may be lured into wondering what all the fuss is about. The trail then quickly narrows, and an abyss opens up to your right, indicating that now is the time to get ready....

Climbing up to Col De Mille will take your breath away. Literally and figuratively speaking. Mostly rideable for the strong but some portage required to get to the Col. A beautifully renovated cabin has views of Verbier, Mt Blanc massif, Mt Velan and into Italy....

How do you make the classic Vertigo enduro ride even more epic? By adding on an additional 650 vertical meters of downhill big mountain rock shredding from the top of the Jumbo Lift! While this addition won't add much in the way of technicality and challenge, beginning from the base of a glacier and ripping down a rocky alpine road for several kilometers definitely increases the epicness of this outing! This wide-open road lets you rip down the mountain, launching off boulders, pile driving through rock gardens, skidding through corners....
