What's new on

The 18 km “Val Pesto” combines the 3 green VTTAE loops around the village, and allows you to discover the different hamlets of Val d’Isère: La Daille, Le Joseray, Le Laisinant, Le Fornet and the Vallée du Manchet. To combine sport and gourmet pleasure, opt for the Boucle Gourmande offer, with tasty breaks available in all 4 corners of the village: tasting local produce, savoury snacks, sweet treats, or a well-deserved aperitif.

Practice areas to learn about and discover our courses

A flat loop made up of small, easy-to-cross wooden modules, perfect for beginners and children.
A mini section of our “Popeye” downhill track: by recreating a short 250m section of this track, we offer you the chance to discover this track and your first banked turns! If you’re comfortable on this mini Popeye, then the real thing won’t be any more technically challenging, just longer at 15km.
A mini section of our blue “Flowy Jumper” downhill run : by recreating a short 250m section of Bellevarde’s emblematic run, you’ll get a taste of its flow, and appreciate the technical level required.
A short, green-level VTTAE climb: you can learn to ride a VTTAE, and it’s even easier when the trail climbs on a gentle slope! This route leads to the mini Popeye, providing a short, easy loop to learn and try again…
A short blue-level VTTAE climb: after the green level for beginners, comes the blue level for the initiated!
