Really enjoyed our experience with Roberto. He tailored an e-MTB tour for me and my son based on our availability. My son and I had not done a lot of mountain biking so Roberto provided great instruction and chose routes that were in keeping with our skill level but also allowed us to challenge ourselves. He knows the region very well, including lots of its military history. Would definitely book with him again if we ever make it back to the area.

Roberto levererade en resa långt över förväntan. Vårt specifika upplägg handlade om tre dagars cykling, med boende på fyra olika hotell. Vi fick uppleva fantastisk cykling, bodde på väl utvalda hotell och åt riktigt bra mat hela resan. Jag har tidigare varit på flera liknande resor i bland annat Finale Ligure och Aosta-dalen. Alla har varit bra, men den här resan var snäppet över på de flesta punkter. Kan varmt rekommendera!

Jag och tre vänner har precis kommit hem från en cykelresa arrangerad av Roberto på Wolf Trail. Vi är oerhört nöjda och har haft en fantastisk resa med den bästa stigcyklingen vi upplevt söder om Dalälven och mycket bra mat. Roberto och hans team är oerhört professionella och trevliga och vi kan verkligen rekommendera Wolf Trails varmt.

We did a self-guided tour of the Alta Via del Sale with support from Roberto. Roberto is a wonderful and caring guide who created well-planned routes for our skill level, taking us through magnificent scenery. He ensured our safety by tracking our progress via GPS and was ready to assist with any mechanical issues, which unfortunately did occur for one of our group during the trip. Some of the routes were quite challenging, but it was all worth it. It was an unforgettable experience. This package included everything, and the food and accommodation were exactly what we expected. I highly recommend Roberto for self-guided tours, and we will definitely use his services again if we ever return to the Alta Via del Sale.

What is the best time to ride the Alta Via del Sale?
The main season generally runs from June to October, depending on snow, weather and road conditions at high altitude. Each itinerary is planned around seasonal access and the safest available route.
Is the bike shuttle always included?
Not necessarily. The Alta Via del Sale Enduro experience works best with bike shuttle support, as it allows the group to reach the most rewarding trails and make the most of each riding day. However, three different options are available: a guided tour without shuttle, a Self-Guided+ tour with shuttle support, or the complete experience with both a guide and bike shuttle. Each option has a different price and logistics, depending on the group’s needs and riding plans.
What happens if bad weather affects the tour?
If unexpected bad weather develops during the tour, the itinerary is adapted to keep the group safe. When severe weather or an official weather alert is forecast before arrival, we assess the situation in advance and reorganize the program, change the route or arrange a suitable alternative whenever possible.
How difficult is the Alta Via del Sale Enduro Tour?
Good to advanced technical skills are required to ride the natural singletracks (S2 and S3) and descents safely. Strong fitness is also important, whether riding an MTB or e-MTB, to enjoy every stage without excessive fatigue. When needed, alternative routes and strategic shuttle support can reduce the physical or technical demands of the day.
Is the tour entirely shuttle-assisted?
No. Even with bike shuttle support, the tour includes pedalling, medium & long climbs and occasional hike-a-bike sections. The shuttle helps us reach remote trailheads and link the best descents, but the experience remains a real mountain biking journey.
