Trails Overview
- This MTB set up is very mixed. Due to the high altitude (3,300 metres) and a massive vertical drop of 2,600 metres you can find snow-covered glaciers and rock but as you soon get further down there are also forests and meadows. Pic Blanc is the mount at the top and it takes you all the way into the Bourg d’Oisans valley. The 260 km of trails are split 50/50 between XC and Downhill.
Downhill
