Les Arcs has more than 100km of maintained mountain bike trails of varying difficulty and with something for everyone.

Uplift

A 2 minute ride will take you from the apartment to the funicular railway which runs up to Arc 1600 and places you ideally to access trails and further bike lifts. The funicular runs from June 30th through until September 1st and takes around 7 minutes. The lift pass tariff (which includes the funicular) for summer 2007 is:

Biking in Les Arcs is characterised by tons of flowing singletrack and some amazing natural and built downhill. The Cachette Downhill Piste at Arc 1600 is one of the three venues for the Sprint Avalanche Trophy (30th June / 1st July). Loads of trails and far fewer package tour visitors than Morzine makes Les Arcs a hidden gem for serious and not so serious riders alike.

Tignes is just 40km up the valley and offers natural downhill riding, good cross country and sweeping freeride opportunities. You might consider getting dropped at Tignes in the morning and biking all the way back down the valley to a few welcoming beers in Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
