Tour of Champsaur by mountain bike - 3 days

in Ancelle
255.6 km
One-way
Mountain biking
3d
Hard

  • Split into three 50km stages with an elevation change of 1,650 m, this trail appears relatively fast at first but becomes increasingly technical and physically demanding thereafter.

  • Setting off on a discovery of Champsaur to encounter varied and sunlit landscapes is all part of the experience of this trail. At each Stage, the backdrop changes radically, alternating between a high mountain environment and Mediterranean influences. Splendid landscapes open up over the valley and the Parc National des Écrins. No-one will be disappointed by this Tour.
  • Tips
    A trail that is more agreeable in autumn (ambiance and colours) rather than spring as the technical stretches are more cyclable, "cleaned" by the passage of hikers in the summer season.
    Be sure to train thoroughly before embarking on three days of alpine mountain biking!

    Herd protection dogs : In mountain pastures, protection dogs are there to protect the herds from predators (wolves, etc.).When I hike I adapt my behavior by going around the herd and pausing for the dog to identify me.Find out more about the actions to adopt with the article "Protection dogs: a context and actions to adopt".Tell us about your meeting by answering this survey.
