Les Orres to host the French Championships in 2022

From September 8 to 11, 2022, the Hautes-Alpes resort will host the French Downhill Mountain Bike Championships. After staging two French Cup rounds in 2020 and 2021, this year Les Orres can boast of taking things up a notch by hosting the best French riders in individual DH and Masters events.

Team Commencal signs up for Les Orres!

A long-standing partner brand of Les Orres, Commencal is now taking a special place at the heart of the resort with its Enduro-DH Team. For the

next three years, the athletes will train on its downhill slopes. A plus for the resort, which will be able to further refine the design of its Bike Park thanks to the expert eye of professional riders.

Key figures :

  • 1st Bike Park in the Southern Alps, the benchmark in France and Europe
  • 13 courses with 5 difficulty levels, including 1 North Shore black run with various wooden modules, 3 enduro itineraries and a pumptrack at the 1650 resort center
  • 30 km of marked trails
  • 3 detachable chairlifts and a 200 m-long carpet at the foot of the new green run
  • A team of Bike patrollers to ensure the smooth running of the Bike Park
  • Special mountain bike wash areas
  • Day passes, multi-day passes, solo or tribe passes

The Black Patrol sees double

The resort is bidding to host a stage of the DH World Cup in 2023. With this in mind, the "Black Patrol" black run is going up a gear

to double-black level! Initially set up for the 2019 World Series, the enduro run has been converted and adapted to the DH discipline. On the program: modules, jumps and even more thrills over 2.6 km and 565 m of vertical drop. An opportunity to ride in the footsteps of the greats, and to thrill (with pleasure) even the most seasoned riders. Mastery is a must.

Mountain biking for all: new beginners' area

while the Préclaux conveyor belt, the longest (200 m), serves the new beginners' area. Ideal for a gentle introduction to the sport!
