You’re in Grenoble, the sun is out, the van is packed, and you’re looking for a bike park that truly delivers — not just a resort throwing up a few trail markers to keep lifts running in summer.
Les 2 Alpes means 2,300 m of vertical drop in one go, trails shaped every morning by professionals, and a riding culture built over decades. Here’s why it stands out as the MTB destination of the summer in Isère.
From the high-altitude domain at 3,200 m down to Venosc at 900 m — no breaks, no car, no switching areas.
This is the run riders talk about when they come back: a descent that can exceed an hour for experienced riders depending on the line chosen, through completely different landscapes as altitude changes.
No other French bike park offers this in a single run. It’s a pure performance argument that alone justifies the trip.
A trail on snow from 3,200 m in July — it’s the run everyone talks about and that most riders have never experienced elsewhere.
Highway to Heaven drops from 3,200 to 2,600 m in the morning freshness, with riding conditions you rarely get on dirt.
The catch: the window is short. Available depending on snow conditions, only early in the season, up to the Mountain of Hell. If you want to tick it off, you come early.
Blue trails aren’t your thing — and the domain knows it.
The Diable and Venosc sectors concentrate the most technical riding: demanding reds, tough blacks, elite trails that don’t forgive mistakes.
Fury, Diable, Styx, Lilith, La 3200… Each trail has its own identity.
With 29 marked trails, you’ve got more than enough to ride for a full weekend without repeating a single session.
6 shapers on the domain every morning.
In practical terms: clean berms, rebuilt kickers, and trails without ruts even after a rainy night.
This level of maintenance is what separates a real bike park from a ski resort just running lifts in summer.
The park ambassadors — Adrien Loron, Isabeau Courdurier and Hugo Frixtalon — are directly involved in shaping the lines, supported by the Back in Bike association.
You can feel it under your wheels.
Some runs have a legend. The Venosc trail is one of them.
Long vertical drop, wild atmosphere, views over the Vénéon valley, a line carved through raw nature — this is the kind of descent that sticks with you long after.
Riders who know Les 2 Alpes always mention it. Those who don’t are looking for it.
It’s a must-do run.
A domain is also defined by what it attracts.
The Mountain of Hell — hundreds of riders starting at the same time from the glacier — is one of the craziest MTB events in Europe.
The French DH Championships and the Urban DH 1800, finishing in the heart of the village, complete a lineup that proves Les 2 Alpes means business.
Even outside events, the rider vibe is present all season.
This is bike culture — not just tourism.
You bring your own bike, and that’s great.
But knowing you’re not stuck if something goes wrong changes the way you ride.
On-site repair workshops, high-pressure bike wash between sessions — including new eco air-powered stations using 80 to 90% less water — and rental options if you need to swap or test gear.
Everything is there so logistics never becomes an issue.
You focus on riding — the rest is handled.
One hour drive from Grenoble.
No need to cross the country, take days off, or book multiple nights just to make it worth it.
Load the van Friday night, ride Saturday and Sunday, head back Sunday evening.
Compared to Tignes, Val Thorens or other Alpine bike parks requiring more logistics, Les 2 Alpes ticks the proximity box without compromising on quality.
The Les 2 Alpes season pass is a no-brainer for riders coming back multiple times.
At €345 for adults, it pays off after just a few weekends — and you go straight through the gates without queuing.
Buy it online from your van the night before, no line in the morning, no surprises.
For more flexibility, day passes and 6-day passes offer full access to the MTB domain without commitment.
On days when you don’t want to go full throttle on DH, or for a recovery ride, the surrounding trails completely change the experience.
Voie Verte, Vallons de Bons, Molière, Petite Aiguille — XC and enduro routes taking you into the Oisans, with the Écrins massif as a backdrop.
The 6 e-MTB routes also let you extend your days without burning your legs.
For a multi-day van trip, this is what makes the difference between a resort and a true destination.
Les 2 Alpes is the Isère bike park that doesn’t need to justify itself: 2,300 m of vertical drop, trails with history, solid services, and just one hour from Grenoble.
The rest — you experience it on the trails.
