Black MTB trails
Technically challenging descents for expert mountain bike riders
Not known for its extreme downhill biking Courchevel, its black graded DH trail follows a portion of the circuit of the 3VTT (an endurance route that covers the entire Three Valleys area on bike).
Beginning at the top of the Saulire cable car, the technically challenging and very difficult descent is 15km long, taking you all the way to the bottom of the La Tania gondola, with a fantastic 1,430m of descent. Not for the faint hearted but certainly a great way to travel the length of Courchevel Valley.
