Les Praizes mountain bike trail

Coup de cœur
A magnificent enduro route nestled in the heart of the Montchavin forest. Technical sections, hairpins and pif-pafs galore will delight adrenalin junkies.
From the top of the Lac Noir gondola, take the route that starts on a wide alpine pasture track then plunges into the forest to lead gradually up to Les Coches. From Les Coches, join Montchavin via enduro route (blue) no. 11.

Lifts used:
Lac Noir gondola lift: 09:00 to 12:15 and 13:30 to 17:40.
Télécabine des Coches: 09:00 to 12:15 and 13:30 to 17:40
