Red MTB trails
More technically challenging mountain bike riding for intermediate riders
Val Thorens
Beginning from the top of the télécabine Bruyeres 2, the red downhill trail named 'Le Pluviometre' is around 5km in length. A difficult and challenging ride that takes you from above the town of Val Thorens down towards Les Menuires with a descent of 650m. At the end of this trail you can pick up the red runs going towards Les Menuires and extend both the total length and descent.
Les Menuires
Joining on to 'Le Pluviometre' from Val Thorens you can take the 'Roc n' Ride' red trail to give you a further 4.5km with 500m descent down into Les Menuires. The other red downhill specific trail here is from the top of the Masse gondola, a fun trail for those who enjoy the thrill of downhill. It's 5km in length with 590m descent and skirting the forest on the way into town gives this trail a good variety of terrain. Also accessible from Les Menuires is a 2km stretch of cross country trail which leads you towards the long blue descent down into Saint Martin.
