Mountain Biking in Chamonix

There are bike trails to suit all levels of ability but more experienced riders will, without doubt, get more out of the Chamonix valley, as the riding is often technical and steep.

The valley and the surrounding valleys are laced with great, well maintained tracks.

The 15-mile long valley has six separate lift systems and boasts a rideable vertical range of over 2000 metres.

The first lifts open the 2nd week of June and close late September. There's also the year round 'bike friendly' Mont-Blanc Express train, which links Chamonix with Switzerland at one end and the Vallée de l'Arve at the other.

From Chamonix bikers can venture out on the Tour du Mt Blanc.

For the competitor, "The Grand Raid" is a fantastic Mountain Bike competition traversing 131km of the Swiss Alps from Verbier to Grimentz. Although Chamonix is a narrow valley it has numerous trails that run its length from north to south. The area of Les Bois has many tracks for all levels of ability. The most common tracks are the Petit Balcon Nord and the Petit Balcon Sud.

All the cable car systems run in the summer so Chamonix has a lot of high alpine riding for keen riders who want something a little different. Col du Balme is a fantastic area with trails to Switzerland.
