Enduro and XC MTB trails
Trails in the Deux Alpes bike park with something for every level of rider and ability
There are both enduro trails and cross-country (XC) routes within the park.
The enduro trails are marked on the maps with broken coloured lines signifying their difficulty in either blue, red or black.
The cross country trails have a small arrow showing the direction of travel next to an unbroken line in either blue or red.
XC Veneon
The longest of these trails is this blue trail, which covers 22km, +115m, and -340m. As the name suggests it's down in the Veneon valley and starts at the bottom of the Venosc gondola.
Back up in the main resort of 2 Alpes, you'll find two easy blue enduro trails.
Super Venosc
Starts from part way down the Pied Moutet blue DH track at the top of the Vallée Blanche lift. Take a left at the top of the lift and descend 2.5km, -440m, through the trees and back into resort. You'll end up away from the lifts, but it's only a short pedal back to any of them you fancy.
Jandri enduro trail
On the other side of the valley is the highest starting point of any of the mountain bike trails in the valley, at the foot of the glacier. This trail snacks down over the rock moonscape from the top of the gondola back down -600m and 4.5km to the mid station of the Jandri gondola, where you can either pick up the lift and do it again, or transition onto a red or blue downhill trail.
Tallias
Heading down into Mont de Lans Village (at the opposite end of resort to the Venosc gondola) is this red enduro trail. This one follows the route of the chair lift down to Mont de Lans and snakes over some north shore sections and through the trees. It's 2km long and -320m of descent. You can lap it from the chairlift.
Vallons de Bons
The other XC trail in the bike park is this red, which is a nice, long 7km route, starting from the top of the Vallée Blanche lift. This one takes you the long way back round to the bottom of the lift, down over the ridge line towards Mont de Lans, back through the trees and traverses back across to rejoin the VB lift.
Getting a little more technical there are two black graded enduro trails.
Mountain of Hell
On the glacier side of the valley and starting not far from the top of the Jandri Express. Join the Jandri blue trail before taking a right onto the black trail. It's short, only 2km and only descends -300m. From here there's a liaison to the next black trail.
Choucas Bikers
The second black trail starts from just below the lake around two-thirds of the way down from the top of the Jandri gondola. It's only 1.5km long but quite loose under your tyres and descends -210m back close to the mid-station.
Find the trails on the maps page.
