BELLEVILLE VALLEY BIKEPARK
Saint-Martin-de-Belleville village and the resorts of Les Menuires and Val Thorens are home to more than 30 biking itineraries.
What better way to enjoy panoramic views, perched high on a ridge overlooking Val Thorens at an altitude of 2,850 metres, or in the bucolic atmosphere of Saint-Martin-de-Belleville’s little traditional hamlets nestled at 1,100 metres, alongside mountain streams and along the mountainside.
Les Menuires’ kid zone introduces beginners over the age of 7 to a specially marked-out site at the Plan de l’Eau: modules, fun variations in terrain, crossing through streams between Alpine pastures and forests!
More leisurely downhillers will prefer the Descente des Belleville, which runs alongside the Doron and through the valley's hamlets.
Enduro-wise, there’s the famous La Dégage black route in Moûtiers, which has thrilled many a rider! From the top of the Saint-Martin Express chairlift, it takes in 2,045 metres of downhill and 250 metres of uphill cycling over 18.7 kilometres, running along the ridge crests before diving down into Moûtiers town!
