We are are set amongst the pine trees overlooking incredible views across the valley which make for the perfect morning coffee or post ride beer stop!

Both chalets are conveniently located at just over 400mts from the nearest chairlift (La Bergerie) or within 50mts of the bus stop. The bus offers free transport for you and your bike to nearby areas of La Plagne every 15 minutes. Within 2 short stops on the bus you can be in the centre of La Plagne.

See What’s On Offer

Check Out The Trails

A non refundable £200 deposit will confirm your space on the trip, with final payments due 6 weeks before arrival.

This holiday comes with the customisation of being able to choose where you ride!

The structure of the week is best suited to riding the first and last day in La Plagne. From previous experience an additional mid week La Plagne day works well to reset and have a slower paced day, however the mid week La Plagne local day could also give riders a chance to ride the lesser known trails outside of the Bike Park.

The customisable aspect of this trip ultimately will be down to a group decision where everyone decides where to visit on the bike park away days.

Self drives are welcomed. If you decide to drive to resort there is ample parking for your veichle. The drive will take roughly 9 hours from Calais and will cost an estimated 90 euros in tolls.

Lift passes will be an additional cost which will vary group to group, depending on the Bike Parks you choose to visit.

As a rough estimate, you will need to budget approx 200 euros for a week of lift passes. These can be purchased before each days riding in resort.

If you’d like bike hire, this is something that needs to be pre booked. Allais Ski located in La Plagne centre offer DH, Enduro and Ebikes from €80 per day. Get in contact if you’d like assistance with this. Don’t forget to ask for the brakes to be changed to UK style!
