A Perfect Ride Day: Start at 3,200 m and Drop 2,300 m in One Legendary Run

9:30 AM – Time to Load Up

Bike in the Jandri gondola, ready to ride. Riders exchange a few looks, quiet but knowing. The mountain is waking up.

10:00 AM – Top of the World

3,200 m. Mont Blanc. The Écrins. Pure air.
It’s just you, your bike, and the elements. The world feels huge, and you’re standing at the start of a mythical descent, tyres ready to bite into the turns.

10:00 AM – 12:00 PM – Morning Flow

To start the day, you drop into a fresh line: the 3200 track if snow is still lingering, a descent full of controlled slides down to 2,600 m, before continuing on Grand Nord towards the resort, wind roaring inside your helmet.

Then it’s time to head to Vallée Blanche. Here, you can choose between the smooth green trail or a steeper descent through the pine trees, with views over the Vénéon Valley.

Lunch break to refuel… and back on the bike.

2:00 PM – 6:00 PM – Head to the Diable Sector

Now it’s time to chain the big ones: 666, Fury, and to finish, the legendary Vénosc descent.

Non-stop downhill. Flow. Drops.
Your legs burn, but the smile stays: panoramic views, pine forests, berms, endless vertical drop… an afternoon packed with adrenaline.

6:30 PM – The Perfect Day Ends

Back to base after a stop at the air-powered bike wash station.
A hot shower, then straight to the lively terraces in the resort to end the day the right way: a friendly atmosphere, a well-earned drink, and rider vibes all around.

Your bike-friendly accommodation in Les 2 Alpes is waiting: bike storage or a secure garage in your lodging for a stress-free stay.

Beyond the Ride: Oisans and the True Spirit of Les 2 Alpes

After great MTB sessions, take time to slow down and explore the authentic mountain soul of the area. Stretch your legs with a gentle walk through the village of Vénosc, a traditional stone-built mountain village at 960 m, or head out onto the hiking trails of the Écrins National Park, where wildlife and nature remain beautifully preserved.

Up on the slopes and ridgelines, you’ll very likely spot ibex, marmots, or agile chamois. Immerse yourself in exceptional scenery: 360° panoramas over La Meije, the dramatic Barre des Écrins, the fresh breath of the torrents flowing through the Vénéon Valley, and legendary peaks just waiting to be explored.

To finish the day, enjoy a relaxing break at Lac du Chambon. Recover with a pedal boat ride or a paddle session on the lake, surrounded by towering mountains. On the way down, stop in the village of Mont-de-Lans to admire the view over this deep-blue stretch of water. One word: spectacular.
