La Grave – La Meije
Bike park with Cable Car Sector
These are freeride “La Grave” style runs meaning no colour coding or security barriers – the terrain is generally demanding and only suitable for experienced mountain bikers.
In this area it is best to choose a strong enduro mountain bike or a downhill or freeride model. A local organization (L’AVAG) has mapped out the MTB tracks here so that walkers and riders may coexist.
These tracks, cut away by riders, alternate between untamed single tracks and fun sections with banked turns and jumps.
