Spot check: La Thuile, Enduro World Series 2014 destination

One of the questions most frequently asked about trails and mountain bike destinations is: do locations still exist where trails are intact and unspoiled? Are there still trails to explore and ride outside the bike parks? Yes we believe so! One of the best examples? La Thuile, not by chance our new destination for round IV of the 2014 Series!
