Here at Trans-Savoie we are excited to announce a further ten places for the second edition of our Big Alpine Enduro will be released late this December.

“The best race of the year”
– Trek athlete Rene Wildhaber (sixth place overall in the 2013 Enduro World Series)
What’s new?
A large contingent of Pro mountain bike riders are in the process of signing up for 2014, which means successful entrants will be afforded a chance to witness first hand leading racers from the EWS series compete on the longest, most spectacular tracks on the Enduro calendar. Obviously, some riders may prefer to complete the beautiful, scenic Trans-Savoie route with friends at a more relaxed, safer pace, and the choice is yours on how best to tackle the adventure.
The Trans-Savoie Guided Experience
We understand not all riders will want or to race or ride all day every day for six days straight (or sleep under canvas!), and thanks to sister company Trail Addiction we’re able to offer all the excitement for those that can’t make it to the race with guided, fully catered Trans-Savoie Experience holidays next year. On limited dates in 2014, riders will get the chance to ride the entire 300km route on one day on, one day off basis that offers a more relaxed way to take in the challenging Savoie terrain and includes some hidden gems we simply couldn’t squeeze into the race schedule. Included in the adventure are several opportunities to don an official timing chip and check your speed on actual race stages against former competitors and legends like Megavalanche legend Rene Wildhaber.

Make sure you join us for the ride next August.
