Tips and tricks
to make the most of your session

  • HOW TO EQUIP?

The bike: min 150 mm travel

There's no mountain bike specially adapted to Bike Park riding. Each rider has his or her own preference. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your weekend:

- Beginners or intermediates who want to discover the resort's trails with an All-Mountain will enjoy themselves on nice red runs (maximum), even with only 150 mm of travel.

- Downhillers looking for speed, bumpy descents and rougher, more technical trails will opt for a downhill mountain bike (DH).

- And the perfect compromise between the two, the Enduro mountain bike: these bikes are more than enough for fun at a Bike Park as well as for Cross Country riding.

Equipment: protect yourself!

- Mandatory: full-face helmet

- Highly recommended: kneepads, elbow pads, back protector and gloves

  • BEST PRACTICES TO ADOPT

To ensure safe riding, here are the safety rules to adopt on the Bike Park:

- Don't stop or park at jumps, landings or on the course.
- Adapt your choice of track to your technical level
- Control your speed!
- Check out the trails and jumps


The Bike Park is grazed all summer long

Don't leave the marked trails
