Trails and flow Heading for 220km of freedom
The Pays des Écrins offers a vast mountain biking and e-mountain bike network of 220 km of marked trails, divided into 28 circuits accessible to all: from gentle reliefs to more sustained slopes, each profile finds its playground. Along the valleys and ridges, the diversity of the landscapes reveals larch forests, flowery mountain pastures and panoramas of the glaciers.
Three valleys, three atmospheres
Vallouise-Pelvoux single tracks and balcony trails
Around Vallouise-Pelvoux, the FFC-labelled routes criss-cross undergrowth and ravines, with differences in altitude of up to 900 m. The routes vary from a few kilometres for initiation to longer loops for experienced mountain bikers.
Puy Saint Vincent Bike Park and Enduro Mountain Bike
At an elevation of 1,600 m, the Puy-Saint-Vincent Bike Park features two detachable chairlifts and seven trails for all skill levels. From the green trail—perfect for beginners—to the black trail reserved for the most experienced riders, wooden features and wall rides dot the unspoiled landscape, while the 900-meter vertical drop ensures exhilarating descents when the resort is open, from July 4 through August 29.
Freissinières , shaded loops and rivers
The trails around Freissinières offer six shaded loops, between 6 and 22 km, ideal in hot weather. These routes wind along streams and through forests and meadows, with views of waterfalls and traditional hamlets of the valley. Their playful nature makes them an adventure playground for mountain bikers looking for a quiet escape.
The Grand Tour of the Écrins Long-distance roaming
For those who love itinerancy, the Grand Tour des Écrins is a Grande Traversée VTT-FFC of nearly 388 km over 11 days. This ambitious route goes around the seven peripheral valleys of the national park, alternating between passes, wild valleys and views of the peaks culminating at more than 4,000 m.
Check out our pump tracks, too
On these fun courses, dotted with bumps and jumps, you’ll need to pedal hard to maintain your speed and make it to the end of the course. You can find them in L’Argentière-la-Bessée, Vallouise-Pelvoux, and Puy-Saint-Vincent.
