Enduro MTB trails

You'll find a great selection of routes here, from picturesque valley and wooded rides to more exposed ridge lines and descents to the valley floor.

Trails are graded from the easier 'Improver' to 'Advanced' and 'Expert' depending on the technical nature of the trails or how much climbing uphill is involved.

Improver trails

Two trails can be found on the Palafour side of Tignes bike park - Cow Lanta and Trailspotting.

Trailspotting

An 8km loop around the top of the Palafour lift and passes the Lacs du Chardonnet. +350m, -350m.
