Mountain Biking

This is a paradise for families, as well as amateur and advanced mountain bikers. The Veysonnaz gondola and other lifts can carry you up and there are lovely surfaced gravel paths to lead you back down. Good brakes are the only necessity! Bikes are available to hire. There are 250km of marked trails, including 5 different routes which you can get from the Tourist Office. The Grand Raid is considered the longest & hardest mountain bike race in the world which is held in Aug and passes through Veysonnaz - it's 132kms long with total climb of 4600m and attracts more than 4000 riders.

Ebikes

Ebikes are a brilliant way to see the Alps without the need for the gondolas and lifts. Ebike rental and guided tours are availble from:
