E-MTB tours in the Italian Alps

Experience amazing MTB, breathtaking views and delicious food.

E-MTB in Sauze d'Oulx

Ride E-MTB in the Italian Alps with local  guides. Experience an unforgettable time in Sauze d’Oulx, right in the heart of the legendary Vialattea ski area, where the ski events of the 2006 Turin Olympics took place.

The views are breathtaking, with panoramic vistas of peaks and valleys, while the vibrant summer landscape bursts with color. Each day, we set our sights on a cozy restaurant or 'rifugio', where we enjoy a delicious lunch and recharge our bikes.
This trip is perfect for those who love riding MTB on trails and gravel roads and want to reach their full potential with the help of an e-motor. For those who prefer not to ride, there are alternative activities such as hiking, yoga, padel, and other excursions.

An unforgettable week awaits!

Program 

During the week, we ride 5 different day tours (4 on shorter trips) on full-suspension Specialized E-MTBs. We move between 1,500 and 2,700 meters above sea level, along an incredible network of natural trails and gravel roads. Highlights include the iconic military gravel road Via dell’Assietta, as well as access to maintained downhill tracks.
The tours take us to places like Sestriere, Bardonecchia, and Claviere, and one day we even cross the border into France to explore Montgenèvre. In the afternoons, the rides are a bit shorter so there's time to enjoy an after bike, aperitivo, or a wine tasting in the charming village of Sauze d’Oulx. In the evenings, we enjoy dinners at selected cozy restaurants in the village.

Your Guides

We, Filippo Guiot and Franco Manfrinato, will be your guides. We're two friends from Sauze d'Oulx and Sestriere who now live in Sweden and are passionate about sharing the beauty of our mountains with others. 
We’re active and dedicated cyclists, now offering E-MTB trips tailored to the needs of each group—whether private individuals or companies.
Our goals are to always create a great social atmosphere, deliver exceptional nature and sport experiences, and provide the highest level of service.

Filippo Guiot

Filippo is a ski instructor and certified MTB guide from Sestriere. He has lived in Sweden since 2007 and ran a bike shop for 17 years. Filippo is also a trained physical education teacher, and now works as a guide for hiking, skiing and corporate trips to the Alps.
His love for nature and the Alps has inspired him to work with active travel, and his passion for MTB riding has given him extensive experience in the region surrounding the Vialattea ski area, with Sauze d’Oulx as its heart.
Filippo’s goal is always to create extraordinary experiences and deliver the highest level of service.

Franco Manfrinato

Franco is a ski instructor, massage therapist, and personal trainer from Sauze d’Oulx. After his years as an alpine ski racer, he co-founded Sauze Project in 1988, which has since become the largest ski school in Sauze d’Oulx. Franco moved to Sweden in 1993 and has since run the family business, Manfrinato AB, focusing on wellness, training, and active travel to Italy. In his free time, he’s an avid cyclist.

Franco is still active as a ski instructor during the winter season and organizes hiking and yoga trips to the Alps and Sicily together with his wife, a tradition they’ve carried on for over 20 years. Franco has deep knowledge of the Vialattea area, a wide network of local contacts, and countless experiences to share.

Davide Merlo

I’m Davide Merlo, born in Novara in 1966. I’m a former motorcycle racer, and since 1995 I’ve been working in sports tourism as a freelance ski instructor, national snowboard instructor, mountain bike guide, and technical specialist for helicopter operations involving both cargo and passenger transport.

For about 20 years, I’ve been organizing mountain bike holidays and trips throughout the Aosta Valley—including Zermatt (Switzerland)—thanks to the heli-biking experiences I offer between Cervinia and Zermatt. I also work across northern, central, and southern Sardinia, as well as in Piemonte, Liguria, and France with tours around Mont Blanc.
During the winter season, I dedicate my time to ski freeride, heliskiing, and backcountry activities.
