De beste Mountainbike-paden in Hautes-Alpes

On the way up the Combes chairlift you get a good look at this trail and it turns out to be exactly as it appears - smooth, fast and fun. It really is a great trip, with mile after mile of easy riding along a beautifully prepared trail....

This is about as good as it gets for those who want some fun biking and epic views. There's a tiny bit of uphill required but it's minimal for the rewards it provides....

In a strong field, this might just be the most enjoyable route in Serre Chevalier - it's smile-inducing, type-1 fun right out of the gate and just keeps on coming.

A technically challenging descent which takes you all the way down the Serre Chevalier bikepark, this is a ride with countless mini-variations so you can keep riding it and find a new challenge each time....

This is a brilliant trip down the lower section of the Serre Chevalier bikepark and is a great way to end a day on the trails.

This is a truly brilliant ride, on which you are highly unlikely to encounter anyone else. Start from the top of the Combes chairlift (as shown here) or from the Casse de Boeuf chairlift, and ride to a fence from where a singletrack heads south....
