Mountain biking
The Alpe D'Huez region provides a great location for mountain biking during the summer months. We can offer accommodation for small groups of enthusiasts wishing to pit their suspension against the downhill trails or mountain bike clubs looking for space for up to 20 people. Our summer packages are tailored to your requirements so please talk to us and we will structure a group holiday around your needs.
Choose between the peaceful paths along the Bourg d'Oisans plain or the dizzy descents down the slopes the ski resorts. Thanks to the efficient and extensive lift system mountain bikers of all abilities have easy access to the 200km of trails of mixed terrain.
The Oisans are famous for hosting spectacular mountain bike competitions such as the "Mégavalanche" from 8th to 12th July (http://www.avalanchetrophy.com/mega-avalanche.html) and the Avalanche Cup in Oz en Oisans on the 8th and 9th July (http://www.avalanchetrophy.com/sprint-avalanche.html)
The Mégavalanche is the longest MTB downhill race in the world, starting on the Alpe d'Huez glacier and finishing 30km and 2,800m further down, in the centre of the village of Allemont.
