There are black trails in the valley, one downhill specific and one cross-country.
Black MTB trails
Not for the faint hearted, these are technically difficult mountain biking trails for experts
The downhill trail at a length of 19km and with an ascent of 250m, as well as the descent of 2,124m, is an endurance ride that will get the adrenaline and the heart pumping. Taking you all the way down into the town of Moutiers.
You have to be sure to know not only where you are going, but also how to get back to your accommodation as there are no specific bike buses from Moutiers.
The cross-country trail 'au fil du Doron' is certainly no walk in the park either with a length of 35km, an ascent of 1,840m and the same in descent.
