It’s a tradition in mid-April for mountain bikers to congregate to take in the slopes, including the legendary red Venosc slope and the Black Garden, an elite double-black slope. 

It’s a time of celebration, reunion and a return to downhill mountain biking.

Join the Commençal team, the Sata 2 Alpes bike patrols and Adrien Loron, official 2 Alpes mountain bike ambassador, for a day with friends to start mountain biking season.

All mountain bike lovers can make their first runs of the year.
