Col Fetita
Located above La Salle, Col Fetita is one of the most spectacular passes in the upper valley. Starting from Courmayeur with a shuttle service, we’ll get close to the climb and tackle about 1000 meters of elevation gain, followed by a short portage. The descent is on an epic 1700-meter single track, featuring natural trails and a historic mule path down to La Salle. If you’re on a non-assisted MTB, you can cut the climbing elevation to 500 meters. This route is perfect for those seeking a wild and authentic adventure, far from the usual trails and immersed in pristine nature. Recommended for experienced riders in great shape.
