Mountain bike trails

You can take your mountain bike up to the gondola and try out the enduro itineraries at the finish, enjoy a nice downhill run at your own pace, or go pedaling through the fir trees.

Discovery tours on a VTTAE?

Haute Maurienne also offers several "discovery" routes for pedaling to the valley's most beautiful landscapes. From your saddle, you'll be able to observe marmots, flora and heritage, with villages featuring authentic architecture, 19th-century forts... You'll also be able to admire the Vanoise or Charbonnel glaciers, and contemplate the immense Mont Cenis lake: a change of scenery guaranteed! You don't need to be a champion mountain biker to ride these trails, as you'll always be on beautiful, easy trails or small roads. And for an even easier way to tackle the slopes, try out the electrically-assisted mountain bikes.

Mountain bike trails: discovery rides on a VTTAE?

Le Petit Bonheur

Saddle up for Espace Chantelouve

You can also take your mountain bike to Bessans on the aptly named "Chemin du Petit Bonheur", then try out the Chantelouve trails, a concentration of fun mountain biking for all levels: from children who have just taken off their wheels to experienced riders looking for a new mountain biking experience.

If you'd like to try it out, you can rent your mountain bike directly from La Norma and benefit from all the services you need for your cycling adventure: charging stations for your electric bike, repair kit, bike instructor.
