    Levels

    Beginner
    For those wishing to discover mountain biking, enduro, or "All Mountain" riding, and who have little or no experience mountain biking in the mountains. You want to learn the essential technical skills for both descending and climbing on rideable trails.
    Intermediate
    For occasional mountain bikers. You are comfortable shifting gears and modulating your braking, and you can clear obstacles by unweighting the bike. You will ride on 4x4 tracks that offer a gradual progression, though you may encounter the occasional steep section. Daily elevation gain is approximately 400 to 600 meters.
    Confirmed
    For mountain bikers who are already enthusiasts with some riding experience. You have mastered gear shifting and braking control, and are able to clear obstacles by unweighting the bike, as well as ride up or down short, steep sections. Ideal for riders looking to improve their descending skills on singletrack trails that are rarely very steep but sometimes technical (rocks, roots, etc.) without being exposed, featuring daily elevation gains of 600 to 1,000 meters.
    Advanced
    For mountain bikers who are already skilled descenders and confident in their technique. You are capable of navigating switchbacks, riding along off-camber trails without hesitation, controlling your braking, and clearing small obstacles (such as roots, rocks, and steps). The long, sustained descents—which increase in difficulty throughout the week—are sometimes steep, often technical, and occasionally exposed, though rarely dangerous. Expect daily elevation gains of between 800m and 1,400m.
    Expert
    For experts and experienced, regular riders. You are capable of navigating switchbacks and off-camber trails, controlling your braking, and clearing obstacles such as roots, rocks, and steps. The descents are long and sustained—often steep, technical, and sometimes exposed. You are looking to challenge yourself with daily elevation changes of 1,400 to 2,000 meters.

The expert's opinion

This trip is suitable for everyone, from children to adults, with several levels of difficulty for hiking and/or mountain biking activities. You choose your routes according to the level (discovery or sport), ages, and motivation of your group. On-site, our team will advise you daily, taking into account your preferences and the weather.

Two routes are offered for each area: level 1 (discovery), level 2 (intermediate), and level 3 (sporty). You choose your hike day by day, depending on your motivation. Enjoy rolling terrain and trails with elevation changes, winding through vast alpine pastures, forests, accessible ridges, and typical mountain hamlets.


Mountain biking: level 1 on a scale of 5

You enjoy mountain biking occasionally and appreciate varied terrain. The routes are hilly, generally easy (shared paths, mountain bike trails, village lanes) with both ascents and descents. A few more technical sections specific to mountain biking are also included.


Optional sports activities:

These outdoor activities are offered at an introductory level, but require a minimum level of physical fitness. They are supervised by state-certified instructors. Parents accompany their children.
