Challenge Trail Villars 2025: conquer the Crête des Tailles
Give it your best shot, reach new heights and embrace the challenge.
It's a sport that requires very little equipment, that lets you discover your region or some pretty spots. You don't need to be an experienced cyclist, because everyone can go at their own pace, and you can even walk to feel more comfortable (even I often walk uphill to get my heart rate down).
