  • Mountain Biking in Chamonix

    (Information provided courtesy of mbmb - the Mont Blanc Mountain Biking specialist)

    There are 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. In spring, the local councils send out teams to maintain and repair this vast network, ensuring they are cleared of debris and in optimum ridable condition for the summer.

    The 15-mile long valley has six separate lift systems and boasts a rideable vertical range of over 2000 metres. First lifts open 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 VallĂ©e de l'Arve at the other. Mountain biking is possible for all ages, sizes and abilities. 

    If you do not have a bike,
    rent one from a store in Chamonix. More experienced riders may choose to wear body armour for technical and downhill riding.
