Past customers reviews

We decided to try something different from Morzine and we googled Bike Ventures. They were very responsive and built us a route of a week in which every day we ride at a different location. This week was an amazing experience and highly recommended for AM and DH riders. We highly recommend Bike Ventures, they were beyond our expectations!
