Mountain biking

In summer, the ski slopes take on a whole new look and become a playground for cyclists. There’s something for everyone here, from curious beginners to more experienced riders. Whether you’re looking to try out the sport or improve your skills with confidence, guided rides are available throughout the summer. Led by an instructor, these rides offer personalised advice and routes tailored to your ability.

Further information can be found in the weekly activities programme, and bookings can be made at the Intersport shop in the centre of the resort.

Mountain biking,

made simple

For the little ones, head to our mini bike park located behind the Tourist Office. Designed for children aged 2 and over, this fun course features a series of tight bends and wooden obstacles, allowing them to experience their first thrills in complete safety. Balance bike (3–6 years) and scooter (from 8 years) sessions are available, with a small conveyor belt to get back up effortlessly (paid activity, book at the Tourist Office).

Fancy a downhill run? The blue run “Saute Mouton”, accessible via the Sybelles Express chairlift, is perfect for a gentle introduction or for having fun with its varied routes. For a more leisurely finish, the green run “L’Agneau” is ideal. This run is also regularly used by local clubs. And for a change of pace, it can also be explored on a downhill scooter.

For a more contemplative approach, an electric mountain bike (e-MTB) is an excellent option. Several signposted routes allow you to explore the area at your own pace. Our favourite: the ridge circuit, accessible via the Sybelles Express, offering a 360° view of the Aiguilles d’Arves, La Meije, Les Écrins and even Mont Blanc.
