Why not explore the Alps on two wheels?

Mountain biking has really taken off in the Champsaur Valley in the last few years – no surprises there – it’s stunning - and new routes are being created all the time. It's just outside the Ecrins National Park which means, if it's bike-able, you can ride it - the only limit is yourself!

The conditions are good for mountain biking between May and November. And, if you fancy trying something new it's possible to go snow biking in the winter!
In the Alps, all mountain bike routes are graded like ski runs; green, blue, red and black routes, with black being the most difficult and green the easiest.

At the moment there are over 700 km of marked mountain bike routes of all levels in the Champsaur Valley and still 100’s of km of unmarked routes to be discovered.

Whether you are a hardcore mountain biker looking for an adrenaline rush-down a fast, technical single-track route, or a family wanting a gentle ride in some beautiful countryside, you will be pleasantly rewarded. There are plenty of day rides if you want to base yourself in one place.

Or if you fancy a journey, why not try the 'Tour de Champsaur', a 130km tour of the valley over 4 - 5 days. We can arrange for your luggage to be taken to your accommodation each night so you can just go out with your daysack.

We organise self-guided and guided mountain biking holidays for all ages and abilities, but you can try mountain biking as part of a multi-activity holiday.

Our guides know the area like the backs of their hands, and some of them have even written the guide books, so they'll know which routes to take you on.
If you fancy biking alone, you can use our route cards and maps to guide you around the valley.

If you would like to come mountain biking here, or would like to bike as part of a multi activity holiday please contact us telling us what you are interested in, and we'll get back to you.
