About mountain bike trails in Courchevel

Guide to best mountain biking trails in the Courchevel valley area

featured in Mountain Biking Trails Updated

With a good number of marked mountain bike routes, Courchevel has plenty to keep the summer bikers happy. Approved by the Fédération Française de Cyclisme, the area has a selection of cross-country circuits and downhill descents that you can get access to using the lift system.

If you want to get off the beaten track and discover other scenery, the professionals of the Espace VTT organise excursions for all levels and on a variety of terrain and types of bike.

Using the summer lift system you can follow a number of downhill trails to Le Praz, La Tania, Brides-les-Bains and Moutiers. But for those who prefer to use their pedals once in a while there is a mountain bike run covering all of the Three Valleys and 117km of signposted single track, dropping 3,970m in height...and climbing at least some that! If you don’t fancy doing the full route under your own steam the you can always take advantage of a few lifts along the way.

Crossing over into neighbouring Méribel via the Saulire lift gives you access to many more trails and access also to Val Thorens and trails in the Belleville Valley. Information of which lifts are open and on which days can be found on the Three Valleys bike trail map. 

Information can also be found for the free shuttle bus and other bus services that you can use to get between the various lifts and towns in the Three Valleys.
