Beginner Mountain biking
Beginner Mountain bike riders are more than welcome at our chalets and hotels!
All types
We cater for all types of rider – from the beginner XC and DH riders to the more progressive riders.
The vast amount of trails on offer naturally means that there is something for everyone, with uphill climbs or no uphill climbs - just using the lift system if you prefer? Rides can be long or short and all are diverse and seriously scenic rides that loop round the valley.
Cross Country Riding
There are also many Cross Country trails which can be found all over the mountain and grade in difficulty, with short climbs or no climbs if preferred! Of course you may simply downhill all the way - just by using the network of ski lifts which are designed to take bikes and riders up hill in a matter of minutes. Routes and rides can last from 4 kms to 20 kms and will take in beautiful mountain scenary.
Downhill
The beginners even have a multitude of easy beginner Downhill courses to cut their teeth on, and most of the World Cup DH tracks offer "chicken runs" round the side of difficult sections so that the beginners are not too out of their depth, but the experts are suitably entertained also!
Female riders
We get a lot of female riders out at our chalets. Therefore, we naturally cater for the female contingent or even the "fairer halves" of those couples that perhaps just want to take it easy on the trails and then maybe take the afternoon out to swim in mountain lakes or lounge in the sun whilst their partners take to the bike trails for the remainder of the day!
Simply Biking
Of course Mountain Biking in the alps is not only for the serious Downhillers and Cross Country riders out there. Mountain Biking in the alps can be enjoyed by everyone including families who perhaps want a more sedate ride among some of the most spectacular scenary in the world!
Perhaps a more Sedate cycle?
The Alps are a beautiful place to cycle and using the lift systems, bikers will find easy trails at altitude, or simply some good road biking. Lunch stops and trips to the lake or just pottering around resort are often all that is required for many of our guests.
Children and Biking
Each resort will offer a range of rides to suit children over the age of 14. Our guides can advise locally which rides they would deem suitable. We will ask that children under the age of 16 are accompanied by a parent or guardian if they would like to take part in our guided rides.
