Green trails
There are green graded DH trails with the shortest at 1.2km and with only -120m descent, so perfect for those new to mountain biking who want to give it a try.
Blue trails
The longest covers 6km and -630 of descent, which are also pretty mild tracks with a few soft berms and small jumps to practise on (obviously the faster you ride these the harder and some might say more fun they become).
Jandri
Starts from the top of the Jandri Express and is a little more technical than you might appreciate. Loose rocks abound, so only tackle this once you're really comfortable, and bear in mind that there's a lot of descent to cover before you're back in resort. This trail is covers -600m descent before you join another blue or red trails to get back down to the valley floor.
Red, black anbd elite trails
For the more experienced riders, there are red graded trails and black trails, plus an elite track built for riders at the very top of their game. These harder trails often have large jumps, high north shore sections and steep, tricky switch backs. The black track Satan lives up to its name…full body armour and solid nerves at the ready!
Check out the map of trails on the glacier side of the valley, accessed by the Jandri Express gondolas and on the Vallée Blanche side (which is more suited to beginner downhillers and cross country riding).
Bike Park
Les Deux Alpes Bike Park has a four-cross track, slopestyle, northshore, walls, tables and dirt lines.
Check out the Crêtes skills centre, which is a good practise area for beginners to get to grips with tabletops, berms and riding skinnies. In summer the bike area opens in late June and runs through to the beginning of September.
You can find lift pass prices here.
