Mountain biking in the Louron valley

The mountain bike spot in the Pyrenees

In the heart of the valley, the MTB Trail Louron links the resorts of Peyragudes and Val Louron, on either side of Lake Loudenvielle. Designed to cater for all disciplines, it offers routes suitable forenduro, cross-country and downhill, with varying levels of difficulty so that everyone can find their own trail, from beginners to performance riders. The network is structured around ski lifts and a shuttle service equipped with trailers, ensuring effortless access to all the sectors. For an even greater mountain biking experience, the site hosts the Pyrénées Bike Festival, a flagship event with a host of activities designed to make mountain biking accessible to as many people as possible.

The longest green Enduro trail

A first in the Pyrenees

Coupled with the Skyvall, the Le Privilège chairlift provides effortless access to the top of Peyragudes resort and a wide range of itineraries. This year, the Louron Valley is creating a 13km green mountain bike trail that runs from the top of Peyragudes resort at 2,246 metres to Loudenvielle at 975 metres.

This fun ‘FlowTrail‘ is the longest ever built in the Pyrenees. It is entirely dedicated to beginners and families.

DH trails

Downhill mountain biking

The Louron Valley MTB Trail Centre also offers 4 downhill tracks, including a green introductory track at Val Louron resort and a black track under the Skyvall gondola, which will be created in 2023 to coincide with the UCI MTB WORLD SERIES in Loudenvielle.

The DH World Cup was inaugurated by the world’s best riders at the MTB World Cup. Jumps, overhangs and steep sections follow one another to offer a technically and physically demanding line.
