Dreaming of an active holiday close to nature and the mountains? Head for Savoie <\/strong>in the magnificent French Alps<\/strong>! Here is a small selection of moderately difficult mountain bike routes to discover the region, and a very difficult one for a magical enduro experience. Remember that mountain bike rides<\/strong> in the mountains still require good physical fitness. Check your equipment, look at the weather forecast, choose your gear accordingly and pick the route that inspires you or matches your level…<\/p>\n

Around Tignes to the north of Lac du Chevril (17.2 km)<\/h2>\n

This superb route starting from Tignes<\/strong><\/a>, the must-visit Alpine ski resort about 30 km (40 min) from our campsite, promises breathtaking landscapes. You will need plenty of energy, though, for the many climbs and descents on forest trails and mountain roads (+758 m\/-760 m). On the programme: just over 3 hours of mountain biking and views of the most beautiful lakes in the area (Tignes, Chevril) as well as the summit of the Grande Motte.<\/p>\n

The Charbonnel from Chapelle-Saint-Anne (13.2 km)<\/h2>\n

This ride on tarmac and tracks (from the hamlets of Bessans, in Haute-Maurienne, about 100 km\/1 h 45 from our campsite) takes you up to 2,083 m. Allow just over 1 h 30 (+\/-510 m) to get as close as possible to the Charbonnel and its glacier (3,752 m), one of the highest peaks in the region. Along the way, you will pass pretty, authentic hamlets (Goulaz, Vincendi\u00e8res…) as well as Av\u00e9role, its torrent and the refuge of the same name.<\/p>\n
