La Thuile (click here for trail map) The discovery of bike trails in La Thuile was a very pleasant surprise for us at the end of the 2008 season. With all the lifts on the French side of the border closing down, La Thuile (across the Col de Petit Saint Bernard into Italy) was offering a last-day-of-the-season lift-pass-and-pasta deal, so we went over to check it out in the company of La Rosiere local and bike guide Mitch from SkiSet. We found a network of new, hand-sculpted and lift-accessed singletrack trails mostly constructed by just one local Italian bike guide. There are 10 or so trails, graded from blue to black, all of them tight and twisty through the trees on the lower half of the mountain. Superb, we'll be back! The chocolate shop in La Thuile also sells possibly the best ice-cream in the world. One more reason to go there more often in 2009. |
