Brevent & Flegere MTB Trails

These are two huge mountain biking areas with access via the Brévent cable car or Flégère cable car. Both areas are very demanding, as the terrain consists largely of small rocks and narrow single track. The trails can be steep and challenging with tight switchbacks, so definitely an area reserved for the intermediate to advanced riding population.

There's a man made MTB descent for advanced riders that runs from La Flégère to Les Praz. Take the La Flégère cable car to the top station at 1,800m. Upon exiting the lift station, turn left taking the steep 4x4 track that runs through the trees back down to the valley floor.

For the other more advanced trails consult a local guide or use the excellent locally produced “Chamonix Bike Book”

The terrain around these lifts includes the Aiguille Rouge Nature Reserve which has restrictions on use by various groups, including mountain bikes and dogs, so make sure to check you aren’t straying into the reserve if you’re planning a long ride.
